DHL has launched new LCL services from South China direct to Europe and North America.
The direct LCL services connect Shenzhen to Hamburg in Germany, Genoa in Italy, Southampton in the UK, Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Antwerp in Belgium, Le Havre in France and Vancouver in Canada.
The weekly guaranteed services enables exporters in Greater China as well as North Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea to ship cargo from the Shenzhen Port directly to Europe and North America, instead of being routed via Hong Kong.
According to David Goldberg, DHL's head of ocean freight, North Asia-Pacific, the company has the world's largest LCL network, and handles more than two million cubic metres of LCL freight a year via 45,000 point pairs within its in-house system.
