DHL has launched a new direct LCL service connecting Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Hong Kong in China.
With weekly scheduled shipments to Hong Kong, the service provides companies in Vietnam with access to twelve major trading ports in North America and eleven in North Asia, reducing transit times by up to three days.
Ho Chi Minh City is one of the fastest growing ports in the region, estimated to have handled 4.2 million TEU in 2010, more than double the volume for 2007.
Operated by DHL's in-house carrier, Danmar Lines, the new service is one of many service expansions in Asia this year for DHL Global Forwarding. Earlier this year DHL Global Forwarding launched LCL services between the Chinese ports of Shanghai and Dalian to Hamburg in Germany, between Busan in South Korea and Manzanillo in Mexico, from San Salvador in El Salvador and Hong Kong, and between Singapore and Buenaventura in Colombia, with more in the pipeline such as Nhava Sheva to Durban.
