New offices for DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics Benelux

Consistent growth of DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics in the Benelux countries creates need for new office buildings in Amsterdam and Maastricht.

V.l.n.r. Wilco Versteegh, Managing Director DACHSER Air and Sea Logistics Netherlands & Belgium, Raymond Boumans, Branch Manager DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics Maastricht, Aat van der Meer, Managing Director DACHSER Benelux.

The DACHSER Schiphol Airport office in Amsterdam reopened in January following renovation work to expand the premises, which now cover an area of over 300 m2. Inauguration of the recently occupied DACHSER Maastricht Airport office followed just under a month later.

Optimal interlocking of individual business areas

With its latest changes to the Air & Sea Logistics location at Schiphol Airport and the move to a more spacious building in Maastricht, logistics provider DACHSER is well equipped for the future. “Our air and sea freight business in the Benelux countries has evolved in recent years. Intensive collaboration with our Road business as part of DACHSER’s Interlocking approach has been a positive development for DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics Benelux and drives us to prepare for further growth. By applying and pooling our expertise, we can serve our customers along the entire supply chain,” says Aat van der Meer, Managing Director DACHSER Benelux.

China Golden Week holidays: impact on operations

China celebrates its National Day on October 1, followed by official public holidays from October 1 to 3. However, it is a common local practice to have a week-long holiday. Production sites in China may stop operations earlier, or resume work later than the official holidays, especially this year when the mid-autumn festival, taking place on September 24, falls close to the National Day.

Most of the sea freight carriers announced blank sailings not only during the Golden Week period but also before and after the holidays to adjust their services in accordance with the weak market demand. Therefore, the current market situation for the trade lanes Far East-Europe as well as Far East-Americas are both challenging with limited space available. Reasons are not only the pre-holiday cargo rush but also delayed operations due to recent storms hitting the China coasts. Some carriers have been establishing additional blank sailings since week 38. The normal sailing schedule is expected to resume in week 42. For blank sailing updates on particular routes, please contact your DACHSER representative.

The Chinese customs will not accept importing clearance during the holidays. Therefore, import shipments cannot be handled on time from September 29 to October 7.
For export shipments, it is suggested sending bookings or instructions as early as possible before the Golden Week. Air freight space will be very tight and shipping equipment will be in great demand during the pre-holiday period.

DACHSER branches in China will be closed from October 1 to 7. The sea freight department at DACHSER Shenzhen branch will be operating with limited service on October 4 and 5; all further DACHSER branches in China will not be in operation until October 8. Air freight departments in most of the China branches will be under operation with limited staffing. Only shipments with pre-booking notice will be handled.

DACHSER focuses on more loading space

Since April 2021, DACHSER has opted exclusively for so-called ‘mega trailers’ when purchasing new semi-trailers in Germany. Because of their more generous cargo space dimensions - with otherwise the same length and width - the mega trailers achieve better fuel economy than standard semi-trailers, especially over long distances. Full conversion of the German fleet is scheduled to be completed by 2027, with some 680 new mega trailers in total. In the next few years, DACHSER will also start replacing its fleets in the 24 other European countries where it is represented through its European Logistics business line.
