DACHSER moves in Singapore

DACHSER Singapore recently moved to a new office at International Business Park (IBP) in Jurong District. The new premise was inaugurated on March 29 during a festive opening ceremony. Together with the existing airport office and the company’s warehouse facilities, DACHSER Singapore is well set up to meet the logistics requirements of international corporations.

The new office marks another milestone for DACHSER in South East Asia.  “We are on a well-planned track of continuous network development in the economically important ASEAN countries,” said Christophe Vincent, Managing Director Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. “Our new offices and motivated teams are an important cornerstone for driving the expansion of our service portfolio for the benefit of our customers, like LCL or cross-border trucking,” he added. The new office is not only giving room for 46 DACHSER Singapore employees. It is also the home base for DACHSER Asia Pacific’s key account management team.

Regular LCL (less than container load) connections, with Singapore serving as sea freight gateway for the Asia Pacific region, enable plannable cargo handling not only within Intra-Asia but also between Europe, Asia and vice versa. Cross-border trucking services complement connectivity between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to drive commerce between the three countries. 

Perfectly equipped to offer robust global supply chain solutions

“Reliability strikes in today’s business environment,” Vincent says. “At DACHSER Singapore, we are perfectly equipped to offer robust global supply chain solutions for our customers,” he concludes. 

Singapore is the fourth largest exporter of electronics globally and is therefore not only home to numerous high-tech and technology players but also a broad variety of international corporations.

Current situation in India and the impact on DACHSER’s operations

Regarding the current situation in India, we would like to give an update about DACHSER’s operations in India. The situation as of today, April 28, 2021, is as follows:

Most branch offices across India are being kept closed as a precautionary measure due to the sudden rise of COVID cases. Our teams are working from home, with only skeletal staff at the offices and hence there are likely to be delays in responses due to the ongoing crisis. As a consequence of the lockdown, there are some operational impacts for air, sea, customs clearance and domestic trucking.

Air Freight:

  • Most countries have barred passenger traffic from India leading to no passenger carrying flights operating on International routes from/to India
  • This has created some additional constraint on already stressed space availability situation
  • Rates are bound to inch upwards for all sectors
  • Transit times too have increased as a consequence of capacity crunch

Sea Freight:

  • Sea freight was already facing the challenges due to the Suez Canal blockage end of March.
  • Ports and terminals are functioning normally, but vessel schedules are impacted by the Suez Canal blockage as well as the sudden rise of COVID cases in India.Therefore delays are expected. Customers are advised to factor in delays of 1-2 weeks while planning their inventories.
  • We expect more delays in communication or operations due to increasing COVID infections among staff at ports, customs, CFS and shipping lines.

Customs:

  • We do not have any unexpected disruptions in cargo movement in India, nor is any work stoppage expected at present.
  • Customs clearance activities are functional at the movement.
  • Customs is working with less manpower, no Customs Brokers is allowed to meet the customs officials, all processes is done faceless and things are moving in slow phase.

At DACHSER, we have undertaken significant measures to ensure our employees’ health and safety, at the same time continue to manage our day-to-day operations with minimal impact to our customers’ supply chains. Our teams are working diligently by all possible means in these testing times to assist and to overcome the challenges being faced.

Please rest assured that we will keep you updated of any changes to the current situation. In case of questions, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative in the region.
