The new DACHSER magazine is here!

Logistics often serves as a benchmark for assessing the state of the global economy. This is because international flows of goods are an early indicator of changes in global trade relations. At the same time, current geopolitical transformations can even reshape supply chains completely. That’s one of the topics featured in the new DACHSER magazine.

DACHSER magazine 04/22

In this issue’s cover story, we propose six theses under the rubric “changing times” that are altering the framework for logistics. We also explain in particular how supply chains can be made resilient in times of change. For details, turn to page 6.

With all the changes currently taking place, however, it is clear that globalization cannot be undone. Efficient global supply chains that work seamlessly will still be in demand in the future. DACHSER’s collaboration with Swiss customer WorldConnect is a case in point. Their travel adapters are produced in Thailand, shipped to Europe by DACHSER, stored at the port of Hamburg, and are moved from there to their points of sale. To ensure the best possible transit times, especially when supply chains are still so fragile, the various logistics disciplines work closely together. The full story begins on page 18.

Continuous process optimization is also a theme in our report on the DACHSER branch in Langenau near Ulm, Germany. This facility has been using active exoskeletons for a few months now. These innovative robotic aides are donned like a backpack and support our employees in lifting and carrying heavy loads. Turn to page 24 to find out how this technology, which is new to logistics, is causing a mild revolution in the day-to-day warehouse routine.

Russia – Ukraine conflict: Impact on DACHSER’s global air & sea freight operations

We would like to inform you about the impact of the Russia – Ukraine conflict on international air freight, sea freight and rail operations. Moreover, we would like to share with you which measures we had to take to safeguard supply chains as much as this is possible.

We are suspending any bookings from or to the Ukraine until further notice. Furthermore, we can no longer accept bookings on our rail services between Asia and Europe. The same booking stop applies to intercontinental trucking between Asia and Europe whenever such shipments would be transiting Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. The reason for these measures is that we can no longer guarantee the safe transit of our customers cargo via the aforementioned countries.

We still accept bookings originating from or destined to Russia and Belarus provided that airlines and shipping lines continue to provide capacities on these routes. We are observing first carriers and airlines suspending their activities related to transportation to/from these countries. Needless to say, that bookings to/from Russia and Belarus have to be fully compliant with the most recent governmental sanctions imposed on these countries.

Besides these specific measures we do expect additional implications on our operations. The conflict region respectively the countries involved in the conflict have great significance in the international oil and energy markets. This is already causing some very dynamic developments of oil prices and therefore oil related surcharges such as BAF and fuel surcharges. We will closely monitor further developments and keep you informed. Furthermore, we are already seeing what could be the onset of a capacity crunch in the airfreight market, as European airlines are banned from Russian airspace and Russian airlines are banned from European airspace.

As of now, it is not foreseeable how long this situation will last or how the situation will develop. We will continue to make every effort to provide solutions for our customers and keep you abreast of future developments to ensure the continuation of your international supply chains.

Our teams worldwide will be in touch with you but please do not hesitate to reach out to your DACHSER contact person to evaluate your particular situation and to discuss further arrangements for your air freight, sea freight & rail shipments.
