Ocean Freight: Panalpina adds further Intra
Asia LCL services
01/25/2012
Panalpina, one of the world's leading
providers of supply chain solutions,
today announced the launch of six new
direct Less than Container Load (LCL)
services through its in-house carrier
Pantainer Express Line. The new
guaranteed weekly services all run out of
Shanghai (China), separately connecting
to Keelung (Taiwan), Manila
(Philippines), Ho Chi Minh City
(Vietnam), Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore
and Jakarta (Indonesia). The new services
meet increased customer demand for
reliable LCL solutions on the Intra Asia
trade.
The six new guaranteed weekly services have
been launched to meet increased customer
demand especially in the consumer,
high-tech and telecom industry and to
strengthen Panalpina's position as one of
the leading LCL service providers on the
Intra Asia trade. The services to Bangkok
and Singapore have already existed but have
now been upgraded to two and three sailings
respectively per week.
Reliable and cost worthy option on the
Intra Asia trade
Panalpina's customers in Asia can utilize
these services operated by the in-house
carrier Pantainer Express Line to further
optimize their supply chains for smaller
orders. The LCL solutions represent a
reliable and cost worthy option to air
freight or Full Container Loads (FCL) on
the Intra Asia trade. With short lead times
and improved frequencies customers will now
benefit from ocean freight economies of
scale regardless of their order
volumes.
The new LCL services are part of
Panalpina's long term strategy to grow
business on key Asia trade lanes,
especially on the Far East Westbound,
Transpacific Eastbound, Intra Asia, Asia to
Latin America and Asia to Middle East
trade. "Intra Asia plays a pivotal
role in our global LCL network and in the
Group's growth strategy and we are
committed to delivering new solutions that
meet our customers supply chain needs,"
commented Frank Hercksen, Global Head of
Ocean Freight at Panalpina.
Increased flexibility, reliability and
improved supply chain
Less than Container Load or LCL offers the
possibility to consolidate multiple
consignments from several customers in one
Full Container Load (FCL). The Panalpina
LCL product consists of numerous direct LCL
services in combination with its global
strategic LCL hub network. Panalpina
provides customers seamless door-to-door
services with the highest level of schedule
integrity increasing the flexibility and
reliability within the end-to-end supply
chain.
