New DACHSER location in Le Havre for Contract Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics

DACHSER opened a new logistics facility in Le Havre in northern France. The site combines a Contract Logistics warehouse and a DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics branch, strategically located in France's largest freight port.

The new branch in Le Havre offers integrated logistics services at an important transport hub.

The new facility which opened in September serves as a hub for the transportation of goods by ship and truck and offers customers warehousing and value-added services. With a total area of 37,500 square meters, the site has storage space for up to 17,000 pallets, 5,400 of which are suitable for hazardous goods. In the multi-user warehouse, products from various industries can be stored and prepared for onward transport.

"This second warehouse location in Normandy is close to important roads and sea routes and not far from our branch in Rouen, thus supporting the further development of our business in the region," explains Stéphane Got, General Manager DACHSER Normandy. "Our combined offer of road, air and sea transport and warehousing is very popular."

Anthony Dupont, Managing Director DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics France, adds: "Our Contract Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics teams have been brought together in one location in Le Havre to ensure close cooperation and thus be able to respond optimally to customer requirements."

The new building is certified according to the BREEAM sustainability rating system and is equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting, photovoltaics and battery storage.

Important hub in the network

The new facility also serves as a Container Freight Station (CFS) for sea freight transports within the DACHSER network. The logistics company unloads the LCL sea freight containers that arrive via the port of Le Havre there, feeds the goods into its dense European overland groupage network via the new branch and brings them directly to French and European customers. Customers thus benefit from uniform and reliable shipment processing and DACHSER's high quality standards in groupage transports and contract logistics.

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
