DHL starts LCL Auckland-Singapore service

DHL is strengthening its ocean freight network from Auckland through the launch of a new direct Less than Container Load (LCL) weekly service to Singapore.

Operated by Danmar Lines, DHL Global Forwarding's in-house carrier, the new service will link New Zealand to key markets in north and south Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Europe via DHL's multinational gateway in Singapore. Customers are also expected to benefit from shorter transit times, enhanced security and monitoring of cargo for safer and more secure transport.

Amadou Diallo, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Africa and South Asia Pacific, said: "Demand for global logistics services is high in South Asia Pacific. The launch of our new direct LCL services out of Auckland, one of the key ports in the region, will further boost our capabilities and help New Zealand businesses extend their footprint into Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East in a cost-effective manner."
