DHL has launched a new direct Less than Container Load (LCL) service from Nhava Sheva, India to Los Angeles, USA.
"The launch of DHL's new LCL service from Nhava Sheva to Los Angeles is strategically planned in time to meet the growth of foreign trade amidst the global economic recovery,” said Christoph Remund, chief executive officer, DHL Lemuir Logistics.
Operated by Danmar Lines, DHL’s in-house carrier, the new service will facilitate trade between India and the US and offers customers reliable and cost-effective services with a reduced transit time of 26 days between the two ports.
Container traffic at major ports in India surged 21.5 percent in April compared with a year earlier, driven by a strong turnaround in the country’s foreign trade.
Nhava Sheva is the largest port in India and handles close to 60 percent of the total containerised cargo in India. Nhava Sheva alone handled over four million TEUs in 2007-2008.
“Since the launch of LCL services from India to the Port of New York in 2007 we have seen tremendous growth year over year. Expanding our offerings to Los Angeles, the largest port in the United States, underlines our commitment to offer the best-in-class solutions for customers in this important and growing market,” said Tara Caputo, director LCL Services North America, DHL Global Forwarding.
