Panalpina has launched three own operated direct less than container load (LCL) services through its in-house carrier Pantainer Express Line.
The new guaranteed weekly services, Shanghai to Rotterdam, Hong Kong to Rotterdam and Singapore to Rotterdam will further optimise the supply chain between Asia and Europe. Compared to previous routings the new services reduce transit times by two to four days and CO2 emissions by as much as 6.5 percent.
The three new guaranteed weekly services have been launched to meet increased customer demands and strengthen Panalpina's position as a leading LCL service provider on the Asia to Europe trade. They also complement Panalpina's existing services into Antwerp (Belgium), one of the group's strategic LCL hub locations.
Panalpina's customers can expect their LCL shipments to arrive in Rotterdam (Netherlands) from Shanghai (China), Hong Kong (China) or Singapore within 26, 22 or 18 days respectively, with time savings of two to four days as cargo is shipped directly instead of being routed via the LCL hub in Antwerp.
