The new DACHSER magazine is here!

Logistics is a hive of innovation, with solutions now becoming part of day-to-day work more and more quickly. These include alternative powertrains, a wide range of digital applications, the clever use of data, and new, autonomous helpers in transit terminals and warehouses.

DACHSER magazine 03/22

Progress in technology is reshaping the sector. This issue’s cover story, however, focuses on an even more important factor for the future: people. After all, without well-trained, motivated colleagues it is impossible for logistics to get anything moving—and that applies to shipments as well as innovations. Turn to page 6 to get to know three colleagues who represent the approximately 32,000 DACHSER employees working tirelessly for our customers around the world.

A prime example of this commitment to customers can be found starting on page 16. DACHSER works for the Swiss company Georg Fischer in many different places worldwide. In this issue, we feature Fredrik Rånge and his team at the Jönköping warehouse in Sweden. This location supplies all of northern Europe with every kind of piping system product—quickly, reliably, and with plenty of passion and commitment.

Innovations are an essential part of ensuring that DACHSER employees can continue to give our customers their best. The @ILO terminal has the potential to become a new milestone on this journey. This “transit terminal of the future” uses data matrix codes, scanning units on the terminal’s ceiling, AI‑based algorithms, and special software to create a digital twin—and with it a new level of transparency. Turn to page 22 to learn more about the technology and its potential, and come with us inside the two pilot facilities.

This latest issue also looks at another important component in promoting innovation and transparency. In an interview, CEO Burkhard Eling and CDO Stefan Hohm explain why DACHSER is a part of the Open Logistics Foundation, and how important digitalization—implemented in accordance with common standards—is for our company and the industry as a whole.

Air freight market update | December 2021

Global pandemic measures as well as continuing high demand have a strong impact on the air freight market. This is reflected in reduced cargo capacities due to restricted and partly suspended passenger flight connections, congested airports, handling facilities and employees.

  • Review 2021

The increase in air freight demand since the beginning of the year cannot be satisfied with the current air freight capacities. Though, a slight improvement is noticeable. 
 
All major airports worldwide have been congested resulting in huge backlog volumes and long waiting times. However, with secured premium capacities on its own weekly charter rotations between Asia, Europe and the US, as well as long-term freight allotments on regular airline services worldwide, DACHSER continued to be a reliable partner also in the second year of the pandemic.
 
The increased demand for consumer goods, the huge growth in e-commerce, and the procurement of medical equipment due to COVID-19 led to an increased number of individual partial and full charter transports.

  • Current Situation

Manufacturing and trading industries remain affected by congested supply chains. Therefore, the demand for air freight capacity is still increasing, in addition to the regular Peak Season during Christmas and Chinese New Year.

Hong Kong

Due to the strict quarantine policy in Hong Kong, some airlines have cancelled their flights before Christmas. The resulting shortage of ground handling staff is causing significant service restrictions at Hong Kong Airport.

Export shipments can currently only be delivered to the terminal within 24 hours prior to estimated departure. Shipments without booking record will not be accepted. There is also an overload situation in import and delays have to be expected.

Hong Kong Airport had already announced in early December that cargo aircraft touching Omicron high-risk countries such as South Africa would not be allowed into Hong Kong until further notice. This leads to a shortage of cargo space and delays due to flight re-routings.

Frankfurt / Germany

At Frankfurt Airport, there are also still some delays in handling, especially at Frankfurt Cargo Service (FCS). Export handling has been delayed, and import handling has been subject to extended waiting times. The warehouses at all handling agents are full, especially at FCS.

Ad-hoc charter business

DACHSER is currently operating several full charter flights as part of a project transport between China and Austria. Read more about this project.

  • Outlook 2022

The tense situation will remain throughout the first half of 2022, easing slightly after Chinese New Year. On the other hand, air freight capacity will increase only gradually, as belly capacity will remain low.

Due to the unpredictable course of the pandemic and a still unstable ocean freight market, leaves plenty of scope for the development of the air freight market in 2022.

  • DACHSER Air Network

DACHSER is extending its own premium air freight services between Hong Kong and Europe in 2022 and beyond. With this extension, 100 additional cargo tons on weekly 747-400 freighter flights will extend the capacity on this route.

The premium freighter capacities from Asia (Hong Kong & Shanghai) to Europe and between Europe and the USA (rotation) are already an integral part of the DACHSER network for a long time now, and DACHSER is looking forward to continue providing this service to help secure customers' global supply chains.

DACHSER builds on its growth driver

Even as the global economy becomes increasingly weaker, DACHSER was able to continue growing in 2019.

Driving this growth was again the Road Logistics business field, net revenue rose by 2.9 percent to EUR 4.60 billion.
