DHL accelerates and enhances LCL service to the Middle East
DHL Global Forwarding establishes new ocean freight links for less than full loads from Bremerhaven to destinations in five Arabic Countries
DHL Global Forwarding announces in a press release the establishment of five new direct ocean freight links from Germany to the Middle East. By shipping from Bremen to Doha and Damman and from Bremen to Quaboos, Bahrain and Kuwait, the delivery period of LCL (Less Than Container Load) transports is shortened from 29 to 26 and from 28 to 25 days respectively. Until now, the cargo was shipped to Dubai where it was loaded onto trucks for delivery to the various destinations. “We are registering increased demand from our customers for transports to these fast-growing regions. They are looking for alternatives to air and ground transports, but they rarely have complete shiploads. Our new direct LCL transports, servicing further economic metropolises in the Middle East, bridge this gap,” says Friedhelm Uhlhorn, Vice President Ocean Freight Germany. DHL Global Forwarding is constantly expanding its LCL network, which currently comprises 45,000 international liner operations and more than 2 million cubic meters of consolidated partial loads. In the function of a “Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier” (NVOCC) DHL provides the world’s largest transport network for ocean freight. Customers are offered full and uninterrupted supply chain management, covering pickup services at source, consolidation and deconsolidation, delivery to the destination, monitoring as well as customs procedures.
