DACHSER expands consolidation services portfolio in sea freight

Putting enormous effort in obtaining the required container equipment, particularly in the Far East, has become part of the daily routine. As this was not challenging enough, unreliable sailing schedules and transit times as well as a congested infrastructure in the main ports will not make it any easier for the logistics service providers.

There is still no end in sight, and the potential for counteraction is extremely limited. With their extensive portfolio of consolidation services to European hinterland destinations, DACHSER has, however, managed to combat these obstacles.

Focusing on a service portfolio that is more resilient to equipment shortages and delays, an ongoing analytical review of their cargo flows along the supply chain is key. The findings reveal optimization potential:

• A sound definition of catchment areas on both ends allows for a decreasing container demand.
• The expansion of their portfolio of inland destinations across Europe prevents delays occurring during the container transfer and devanning process in the port areas.
