Dachser moves Swiss sea freight operations to Basle

German logistics company Dachser said it has begun handling its Swiss sea freight consolidation operations from a new branch near Basle.

The new branch in Basle will also integrate the Dachser air and sea logistics sales office previously located in Birsfelden.

Basle is Switzerland's only inland port and has large container terminals with excellent links to road, internal waterway and rail networks,?Dachser said in a statement. Basle is also home to the majority of shipping company agencies and therefore is an important hub for local import and export activities. Air freight activities in Switzerland will continue to be handled in Zurich.
