DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics has announced the expansion of its Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) service with a new service range from Europe to Chile. A new fixed weekly schedule of LCL services is departing from Hamburg to San Antonio. The new LCL services add to DACHSER’s already existing LCL service offerings and wide range of rapidly growing destinations.
“Our new LCL service is designed to meet the needs of our customers with smaller merchandise quantities. The service optimises efficiencies and reduces costs, and 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, including Germany, Belgium, Denmark and Poland, and consolidates the freight at its warehouse in Hamburg. From there, the shipment departs to its final destination of San Antonio in Chile. According to DACHSER, businesses benefit from seamless connection of customer markets in Chile, including collection and delivery of their valuable goods, from door-to-door.
“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. DACHSER also handles pre-carriage through its European overland transportation network. The service offers customers container coordination and management of all sea freight imports.
