Hacis announces extended scope of partnership with DB Schenker

Hacis (Hong Kong Air Cargo Industry Services Limited) – the road feeder and added-value logistics services arm of Hactl – has signed an agreement with the Hong Kong division of DB Schenker, extending the scope of the relationship between the two companies.
 
The new contract will see Hacis providing DB Schenker with its Airport Direct Export Services, for the company’s considerable export airfreight traffic from China and Hong Kong. The Airport Direct Export Handling Centre at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) will now handle around one third of all DB Schenker’s Hong Kong air cargo volumes. The contract signing ceremony was held at SuperTerminal 1 in Hong Kong.
 
Hacis is a subsidiary of Hong Kong’s major air cargo handler, Hactl, but operates autonomously   from its parent, providing neutral services to all carriers and freight forwarders, whether or not they are a client of Hactl. 
 
Says Soren Poulsen, Managing Director – Hong Kong & South China, DB Schenker: “Hong Kong is a primary gateway for DB Schenker’s business in Southern China. Hacis’ strategic location within HKIA’s cargo area, its proximity to the airline cargo handling facilities and the comprehensive range of services it provides under one roof, will introduce enhanced speed and efficiency to our export operations and benefit of our customers. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Hacis in the future.”
 
Adds Kenneth Bell, Managing Director of Hacis: “Hacis offers a one-stop-shop for forwarders and logistics companies, providing them with all the resources and convenience of their own base at the airport. Hacis’ Airport Direct Export Handling Centre offers the best facilities for cargo handling processes in one location, ensuring that our customers’ shipments are handled safely at the very high service standards required. We are delighted that DB Schenker’s experiences with Hacis have led them to formalise and extend their relationship with us through this contract, to the benefit of both companies.”
 
In addition to handling, warehousing and added-value logistics services at HKIA, Hacis also provides local collection and deliveries throughout Hong Kong and the New Territories, plus express road feeder services to and from six IATA-designated Inland Cargo Depots throughout China’s most important industrial region – the Pearl River Delta and the neighbouring Fujian Province.
