DACHSER Hong Kong connects with students at Germany Business and Career Expo 2026

The expo was designed to go beyond a traditional career fair format, incorporating interactive elements such as networking sessions and direct exchanges between students and industry professionals, enabling participants to gain first-hand insights into international career opportunities.

Marcel Schmidt, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Hong Kong at DACHSER, presents the company’s development and service portfolio, highlighting its integrated logistics networks.

DACHSER Hong Kong’s participation underscores its continued commitment to engaging with emerging talent and strengthening ties between academia and industry. By providing insights into the logistics sector and its future developments, the company aims to support students in exploring international career paths and preparing for opportunities in a global working environment.

A university campus turned into a meeting point for global business and young talent in April, as Hong Kong Baptist University hosted the Germany Business and Career Expo. Bringing together German companies and students under the Consul-General-in-Residence Programme, the event created a platform for direct exchange on careers and international opportunities.

DACHSER Hong Kong joined the line-up of participating companies, engaging with students at its booth to present its global logistics network, service portfolio, and career pathways. Beyond the exhibition area, DACHSER Hong Kong contributed to the programme with a presentation outlining its operations, development, and service portfolio, highlighting its integrated logistics networks, digital innovation initiatives, and sustainability efforts, including emission-free delivery concepts.

“Engaging with students at an early stage helps create a clearer understanding of the logistics industry and the opportunities it offers,” said Marcel Schmidt, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Hong Kong. “At the same time, it allows us to gain insight into the expectations of the next generation entering the workforce.”

US West Coast Port Situation

These delays are primarily due to the following reasons:

  • Large number of positive COVID-19 cases among port workers
  • General industry shortage of port personnel
  • The upcoming holiday season
  • Too few crane operators
  • Chassis shortages

This is not a single ocean carrier challenge, this is an industry challenge.

Our concern for the near future is that the situation will only become more dire. More vessels are in transit already and delays will continue to increase. The situation will be intensified further by the trucker shortage that the industry is already facing.

In preparation to minimize the effects of these delays, we here at DACHSER are working closely and tirelessly with our contacts to check on drayage capacity, transit times, unloading updates, and potential demurrage charges. 

Please schedule the picks ups of your container freight well in advance in order to avoid further delays at your supply chain, and to also avoid additional charges at the port, such as demurrage and detention. DACHSER are here to assist you during this time and to help arranging pick up options to save you time and money.

We will keep you up to date on the status of your shipments as well as the situation in the ports. Should you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact your local DACHSER representative.

We also encourage you to sign up to receive our E-Newsletter to receive industry updates as soon as they become available. This can be done through our website: https://www.dachser-news.com/?lang=en-HK

Air freight market update | April 2021

Air freight volumes continue to grow strongly, driven by the stabilization of world trade, which is further stimulated by large-scale economic recovery programs such as the one recently announced by the U.S. government.

To illustrate just one example with figures - Frankfurt Airport (FRA), Europe’s largest air cargo airport by volume, reported its most successful 1st quarter ever, with 553,600 air freight tons and a YOY increase of 23.7% (source: fraport).  In addition, the tight ocean freight market is driving rapid growth in air freight tonnages.

The disruption of global supply chains due to capacity and equipment shortages has dramatically worsened with the blockade of the Suez Canal at the end of March.

  • Ever Given – Impact on the air freight business

Four weeks ago, the container ship Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal for one week. During this time, a queue of about 450 container ships was formed to pass the canal. This incident also affects the development of the oil price with an increase by 6% m-o-m April. In addition, the already existing sea freight departure delays will be extended by further weeks.

This incident has implications for the entire global transportation market, especially for the air freight business. The already tight market for air freight capacity will become even tighter, including air charter capacities.

Transpacific air freight rates increased in early April, despite the impact of the Ever Given Suez Canal blockade. An analysis of the Baltic Exchange Air Freight Index (BAI) indicated a 20.5% increase in air freight rates from Hong Kong to North America. The severity of the impact of the Ever Given grounding is yet to be observed, while sea and air capacity will remain disrupted in the coming weeks.
