DACHSER bundles the majority of LCL sea freight shipments from Europe in Rotterdam

With a new Container Freight Station (CFS) in Waddinxveen near Rotterdam, DACHSER has set up a central location for export shipments in the LCL (Less than Container Load) sector.

The logistics service provider consolidates the general cargo shipments of its customers from the Netherlands, Belgium, large parts of France and Germany as well as Switzerland and, in some cases, Austria and Eastern Europe in its own contract logistics warehouse in Waddinxveen and sends them bundled by sea freight via the port of Rotterdam. The port acts as an export gateway in DACHSER's sea freight network. By carrying out the consolidation processes at its own facility in Waddinxveen, the logistics service provider has process control and flexibility in this crucial part of the supply chain and is independent of third parties. This enables Dachser to provide a high-quality logistics service for its customers.

With this concept, we are leveraging the strength of our European groupage network to offer reliable logistics solutions from Europe to the world.

Dr. Tobias Burger, COO Air & Sea Logistics at DACHSER

As one of the largest seaports in the world, the port of Rotterdam is closely linked to all major international trading centers, offers regular connections to Asia, North and South America and offers attractive shipping transit times. At the same time, it is connected to DACHSER's European road transport network via the local DACHSER branch in Waddinxveen with closely timed services. The extended catchment area leads to better and more efficient container utilization. "The close link between the location in Waddinxveen and our end-to-end European groupage network gives us the opportunity to centralize LCL consolidation there. We ship the bundled LCL consignments to destinations worldwide via the port of Rotterdam with its high frequency," says Christian Kruse, Head of Global Ocean Freight LCL. "With the port of Rotterdam as an export gateway, we can offer customers reliable and flexible logistics solutions on a global scale, with a focus on flexibility, speed, quality and planning." 

LCL solutions for seamless, global door-to-door services

Customers benefit from uniform and reliable shipment processing that meets DACHSER's high quality standards in European general cargo and contract logistics. "The Container Freight Station in Rotterdam is a strategic location for us for export LCL sea freight shipments from Europe to international markets," says Dr. Tobias Burger, COO Air & Sea Logistics at DACHSER. "With this concept, we are leveraging the strength of our European groupage network to offer reliable logistics solutions from Europe to the world."

Adverse weather conditions in Spain

Due to the Filomena storm that has affected all Spain in recent days and especially the Community of Madrid, we inform you of the following restrictions:

Road Transport:

  • Traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles imposed by the DGT (partially open on some roads).
  • Restrictions on access to industrial estates due to accumulation of snow and vehicles.
  • Difficulty in collections, deliveries and shipments to other delegations. Journeys to and from Madrid may suffer significant delays.
  • Difficulties in distribution activities throughout the week, mainly in the branch in Madrid.
  • Temporary reduction of long-distance routes between delegations.

Air Transport

  • MAD airport starts operating slowly but suffers long delays due to canceled flights.
  • Handling personnel are severely restricted and therefore air cargo operations start to run very slowly.
  • Customs operations are giving priority to express shipments.
  • Road access to and from Madrid suffer significant restrictions.
  • During this week, the alert is still active due to very low temperatures (in some places below -10ºC), so we still expect strong restrictions and incidents in all transport and distribution services.

If you have any questions, please contact your local contact at the respective DACHSER branch.
