DHL has launched a new direct less-than-container-load (LCL) service linking Asia and Europe.
The new service, operated by Danmar Lines, DHL Global Forwarding’s in-house carrier, links Singapore with Koper in Slovenia.
DHL said transits would take 19 days, a saving of up to seven days compared with indirect services. From Koper, shipments will be distributed to neighbouring countries via DHL’s trucking network.
Amadou Diallo, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding for Africa and South Asia-Pacific, said Koper offered the shortest route linking commercial centres in Central and Eastern Europe with the Mediterranean and South Asian countries.
DHL has also launched direct LCL services via Koper from Hong Kong and Colombo in Sri Lanka.
