DHL launches Malaysia-Vietnam LCL service

Cargo News Asia 31/08/2012. DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist within Deutsche Post DHL, has launched a direct less than container load (LCL) service between Malaysia’s Port Klang and Cat Lai in Vietnam. The new weekly LCL service between Port Klang and Cat Lai offers the port-to-port transit time of three days, saving customers up to 10 days and boosting intra-Asia trade flows between Southeast Asia’s third and sixth largest economies. The LCL service gives companies direct, faster access compared with the previous routing which saw shipments consolidated in Singapore, says Sam Ang, Southeast Asia CEO of DHL. ”DHL is continually adapting to changes in the global marketplace so when we see a need for a new service like the one between Malaysia and Vietnam, we are best positioned to leverage our network to deliver what the customer wants,” says Asia Pacific CEO Kelvin Leung.
