DHL Announces New LCL Services

As businesses are unable to ship full containers, the demand for Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping is increasing. In response to this, DHL has announced the launch of its guaranteed weekly LCL services connecting Bangkok to Los Angeles, Hamburg and Tokyo. The LCL market from Asia is expanding as Averitt Express already has a service to Memphis. The service is aimed at by-passing the busy port of Los Angeles as the final destination for cargo and using Memphis instead, which is better for businesses in the south-east US.

DHL’s new Bangkok to Los Angeles LCL service has been part of an increased LCL presence in Asia. Since the start of 2009, DHL has launched ten other direct calls from China, Japan and India to meet increasing LCL demand.
