DHL launches new ocean freight links to Africa

Delivery times for Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipments on the three connections between Bremen (Germany) and Tema (Ghana), Cape Town (South Africa) and Mombasa (Kenya) have dropped from 31 to 25 days, from 33 to 31 days and from 49 to 45 days, respectively. This service not only ensures faster transport of goods to Africa up to one week, it also enables CO2-savings of up to 10%.

"Movement of goods between Germany and Africa is on the upswing. We note a growing demand among our customers for transports to these emerging countries. Our LCL services take account of this demand," says Volker Oesau, CEO DHL Global Forwarding Middle Europe.

Companies from the energy, automotive and manufacturing industry in particular benefit, in addition to the existing Full Container Load services, from the expansion of the LCL network to three new destinations in Africa. With relatively strong business activities in these countries, there is high demand among companies in these segments for transport solutions for smaller freight shipments.
