DACHSER expands Europe’s connection with Chile with new LCL service

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics expands its LCL-Service (Less-than-Container-Load) with a new service range from Europe to Chile.  A new fixed weekly schedule of LCL services is departing from Hamburg to San Antonio.

DACHSER expands Europe's connection with Chile with new LCL service

“Referring to ‘less than container load,’ our new LCL service is designed to meet the specific needs of our customers with smaller merchandise quantities. The service not only optimizes efficiencies and reduces costs, but the fixed weekly schedule improves the planning process,” said Guido Gries, Managing Director, DACHSER Americas. With this consolidated maritime freight service, DACHSER collects container shipments from several European countries, for example Germany, Belgium Denmark und Poland, and consolidates the freight at its warehouse in Hamburg. From there, the shipment departs to its final destination of San Antonio in Chile. With its constantly growing network across the globe, DACHSER is creating ideal conditions for keeping goods moving along the supply chain. Businesses benefit from seamless connection of customer markets in Chile, including collection and delivery of their valuable goods, from door-to-door.

“An effective LCL service comes down to timing—from the coordination of the grouping of goods and to the fixed container trips between ports. Our management of this timing allows our customers the benefit of improved planning and transit times as well as transparency of their shipments,” added Gries. Further, DACHSER offers interlocked logistics solutions through its DACHSER Road Logistics and DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics business fields, with services including transportation, warehousing and complementing value-added services. DACHSER also handles pre-carriage through its comprehensive European overland transportation network.

Connection to Germany and beyond

“The service offers customers streamlined container coordination and management of all sea freight imports,” added Mr. Gries. “With our extensive European logistics network we can offer seamless visibility from the door of the supplier in Europe to the final destination.”

The new LCL services add to DACHSER’s already existing LCL service offerings and wide range of rapidly growing destinations. DACHSER allows customers a greater flexibility and choice by continuing to increase the number of destinations served.

DACHSER's transport network is prepared for dynamic changes

DACHSER says thank you - over the past few weeks, our customers have informed us in good time about their current transport requirements and included us in their planning. This has enabled us to quickly adjust our capacities to the actual demand. Due to the sharp decline in transport volumes in recent weeks, we have temporarily reduced transport capacities and installed special schedules.

The many measures taken to reduce new infections with the coronavirus have had a positive effect in many European countries in recent days. Initial easing measures, for example a partial reopening of retail outlets, are making everyday life easier for people. Since many industrial companies are also resuming production - albeit mostly at lower output levels - we expect transport volumes to remain volatile, but to increase again in principle.

With the active support of our customers, we are very well prepared for the coming period and will also be able to handle rising transport volumes again with the well-known DACHSER quality. It will continue to be very valuable for us in the future, too, that our customers continue to provide us with all the planning information that will enable us to adjust transport capacities and planning in line with demand.

We would like to thank you for your active cooperation during this very challenging period and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration, in which you can continue to rely on DACHSER.
