Shipping buses from Indonesia to Bangladesh

Recently, DACHSER Bangladesh shipped four buses, each weighing 13.5 tonnes, using an efficient Ro/Ro (Roll on / Roll off) mode of transportation. This solution was not only cost effective but also ensured that the buses were transported safely from Indonesia and arrived on time at their destination in Bangladesh. 

Buses were “rolled on” with their own wheels to a Ro/Ro carrier at the port of loading at Jakarta and “rolled off” at the destination at the Chittagong port.

The two DACHSER teams (Indonesia and Bangladesh) worked well in synergy, performed their tasks with precision, careful monitoring and executed the shipment on time fulfilling all the requirements highlighted by our valued customer.

Roll on and roll off

The cargo was “rolled on” with its own wheels to the vessel at the port of loading in Jakarta, Indonesia and “rolled off” at the destination at Chittagong port successfully in 16 days. The customer was delighted with the entire service experience.

The team is highly motivated by the success and is looking forward to move the next shipment - Double Decker buses, probably more in numbers this time.

Coronavirus pandemic: Impact on operational processing in the USA

As can already be seen from various press releases, the US authorities have enforced a ban with effect from 13 March 2020, 23:59 h, which prevents all entries from Europe into the United States, in addition to the already existing entry ban for visitors from several Asian countries.

This leads to a large number of flight cancellations on routes between Europe and the United States. However, the affected passenger routes also represent a significant portion of the available cargo capacity and therefore there is a massive impact on available cargo space and freight rates.

Our team of experts continues to work hard on alternative options and routes that will allow us to carry urgent cargo and we are committed to providing our customers with priority access to available capacity. As with the successful implementation of our charter program between China and Germany, we are now exploring similar solutions for transportation between Germany and the USA.

Our teams around the world will stay in touch with you, but please do not hesitate to get in touch with your contact at the respective DACHSER branch to discuss your particular situation and make further arrangements for your freight shipments.
