Logistics firm DHL Global Forwarding is launching a new weekly direct service for container cargoes between India and Germany.
The new service will reduce the transit time for LCL (less than container load) transports from Tuticorin, India, to Hamburg from 33 to 26 days.
“Germany is India’s number-one EU trade partner. The launch of this new LCL route connecting Tuticorin to Hamburg will further facilitate foreign trade between the two countries and support the growing needs of small and medium enterprises. This will be particularly beneficial to companies in the textile, chemical, metal, leather and electronics sectors,” Samar Nath, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding India, said.
DHL Global Forwarding is expanding its LCL network. From Asia alone, consolidations are being moved from 45 terminals to 56 European container freight stations every week.
