DHL upgrades Hong Kong – Brazil LCL service
DHL has enhanced its connectivity between Hong Kong and Brazil by upgrading its existing Hong Kong – Manaus LCL service schedule from a bi-weekly to a weekly service. DHL operates twenty direct LCL services between Asia Pacific and South America, including three direct LCL services from Hong Kong to Brazil’s Paranagua, Santos and Manaus ports. According to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Brazil is Hong Kong’s second largest export market in Latin America, after Mexico, and Hong Kong’s total export volume to Brazil soared by 63% in the first two months of 2010. Brazil recorded 9% year-on-year GDP growth in the first quarter of 2010, and the Brazilian economy is also expected to increase by almost 7% in 2010 overall – a much faster pace than its Latin American neighbours. DHL currently operates the world’s largest LCL network, handling close to two million cubic metres of LCL freight every year. Quelle: eyefortransport |
