DHL Global Forwarding has launched direct export services from Central Eastern Europe to Asia via the port of Koper, Slovenia.
The new export solution, linking Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia directly with the Asian business centres of Hong Kong, Keelung, Pusan, Shanghai and Singapore, is unique in the market. Customers who forward their LCL (Less-Than-Container-Load) shipments via Koper will benefit from significantly shorter transit times than on the route via ports in northern Europe.
"Trade between North Asia and Eastern Europe has grown rapidly over the last decade at an average rate of 32% growth per year. China's imports from central and east European countries grew even faster, registering an average annual rate of 38.7%. These figures substantiate a need for the introduction of these new trade routes to serve the North Asian markets more efficiently," said Kelvin Leung, CEO, North Asia Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding.
