DACHSER Asia Pacific to expand direct LCL services

DACHSER has been constantly adding regular direct LCL routes to its worldwide network. Seventeen new direct services between and within Asia have been implemented since the beginning of 2018. DACHSER’s European Logistics groupage network is the backbone for smooth interlocked procurement and delivery from and to Europe.

By constantly adding weekly LCL container services, important economic centers in China, India, Korea and South East Asia get closer connected to Europe via sea freight. Ports of arrival and destination are strategically defined to implement the shortest possible transit times.

Upon arrival at the port in Europe, the DACHSER European Logistics teams arrange warehousing and delivery while the teams in Asia organize hinterland transport via rail and road.

“With our LCL service offering, we minimize transit times while close cooperation with preferred partners helps us to maintain high service levels”, says Edoardo Podestá, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Asia Pacific.

Handling pre-carriage and distribution directly via our European Logistics network adds further value to the transport chain, increasing speed, security and reliability even more.

Throughout the second half of the year, DACHSER plans to add further regular direct connections for example between France and India, China and Hong Kong.

Distribution and pre-carriage on the European continent are handled in the company’s comprehensive European network where shipments from several customers are grouped together.

Air freight market update | June 2022

DACHSER has extended its charter program on the route between Shanghai and Frankfurt. A clear signal of reliability and stability in times of continuing challenges on the global trade markets.

  • Current Situation

Demand for air cargo softened in March and April due to ongoing supply chain disruptions and global inflation. China’s zero-covid strategy with massive lockdowns in Shanghai and other Chinese cities, as well as  the continuing conflict between Ukraine and Russia led to limited flight capacities, supply bottlenecks, and a rapid increase in fuel and energy prices. In 2022, jet fuel prices increased by more than 70%.
 
It is a challenging operating environment for all businesses. But with the easing of restrictions in China on June 1, it will now become even more difficult. It is expected that demand for cargo capacity will increase in the coming months.
 
Therefore, DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics has already extended its charter program on the route between Shanghai and Frankfurt to cover the period from May 2022 to April 2024. Thus, DACHSER is able to continue offering its customers reliable transport capacities. Two days a week, DACHSER flies between Asia and Europe with a wide-bodied aircraft, transporting 33 tons each way.

With this premium service, DACHSER can respond to market capacity changes at short notice and ensure its own stable air freight network.
 

  • China

On Wednesday, June 1, 2022, Shanghai lifted the restrictions on COVID-19 after a two-month lockdown. However, the city is still far away from normal:
 
·         Residents from COVID-19 low-risk areas are free to move within the city.

·         Resumption of public transport.

·         A number of businesses and retailers are still closed and will gradually reopen.

·         Factories and production sites located in COVID-19 low-risk areas are gradually resuming 
          to normal over the next few weeks.

·         Transport logistics services are also resuming to their normal capacity step by step 
          as the restrictions on roads, workers, and drivers are lifted.
 
During the lockdown period, DACHSER’s consolidation warehouse at Shanghai PVG Airport Cargo City was closed. As of June 1, 2022, the warehouse is operating again and the transitional warehouse outside of the Cargo City has been decommissioned again.

  • DACHSER Air network

The flexible and constant structure of the DACHSER Air network, in combination with the worldwide DACHSER gateway locations, serves all requirements of global supply chains.
 
The weekly network capacities from Asia (Hong Kong & Shanghai) to Europe and between Europe and the USA (rotation) are an integral part of DACHSER's air freight portfolio. If necessary, additional capacities are booked at short notice.
