LCL smart routing: DACHSER launches new direct consolidation service from China cities to Karlsruhe in Germany

DACHSER expands Sea Freight LCL network portfolio, offering new weekly direct consolidation services from Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen to Karlsruhe in Germany.

DACHSER expands Sea Freight LCL network portfolio, offering new weekly direct consolidation services from Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen to Karlsruhe in Germany.

SMART ROUTING is an ongoing analytical review of the cargo flows along the supply chain, focusing on a service portfolio that is more resilient to equipment shortages and delays. Predominantly, there are two key aspects:
 

  • A detailed definition of the catchment areas at both ends allows a decrease in container demand.
  • The expansion of the portfolio of destinations in inland Europe prevents delays in handling and unloading containers in port areas.

As part of the ongoing analytical review of the cargo flows, DACHSER identified the potential of expanding the Sea Freight LCL network portfolio with new weekly direct services to Karlsruhe, Germany.
 
This new service is extraordinarily fast and particularly reliable by avoiding the apparently long-lasting bottlenecks in the major European ports like Rotterdam or Hamburg.
 
On the fiercely competitive Far East Westbound trade, DACHSER has added complementary LCL services to their existing “DACHSER Consol” portfolio, offering the first departure in August 2022 and using their own Container Freight Stations and European Logistics terminals, strategically located in close proximity to the market places in Southwest Germany.
 
The ability to offer in-house groupage and European overland transport is a key success factor of DACHSER and enables it to respond even better to the needs of its customers. Especially in these challenging times, it is all about solving today's challenges with resilient logistics services.

Your benefits

In summary, the advantages are as follows:

  • Faster transit times through direct container transport to the Karlsruhe area
  • Lower risk of damage due to direct container service to Karlsruhe
  • Customs warehouse at the DACHSER CFS – bonded storage until customs clearance is possible
  •  Faster Delivery due to usage of DACHSER CFS and DACHSER European Logistics network

If you would like to discuss your transport needs, please get in touch with your local DACHSER representative.

Incoterms 2020

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) will soon release the new Incoterms 2020, providing certainty and clarity to businesses trading across borders. The new Incoterms will be effective as of January 1st, 2020.

Every 10 years, the International Chamber of Commerce evaluates and revises the International Commercial Terms, better known as Incoterms, as a means of creating greater uniformity and effectiveness across the shipping industry. The latest version, Incoterms 2010, will stay in effect until January 2020.

What does "Incoterms" stand for?

It is an acronym standing for international commercial terms. Incoterms is a trademark of the International Chamber of Commerce, registered in several countries.

The Incoterms rules feature abbreviations for terms, like FOB (“Free on Board”), DAP (“Delivered at Place”), EXW (“Ex Works”), CIP (“Carriage and Insurance Paid To”), which all have very precise meanings for the sale of goods around the world. These terms hold universal meaning for buyers and sellers around the world.

The main Incoterms changes that are being considered are: 

  • The removal of FAS (Free Alongside Ship) as it is being used infrequently;
  • Separating FCA (Free Carrier) into two separate Incoterms: one for road delivery and one for maritime delivery;  
  • The committee is also considering bringing back the terms FOB (Free on Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), instead of the FCA and CIP (Cost and Insurance Paid to) used for non-container shipments.
  • There is also a debate about the creation of a new Incoterms called CNI (Cost and Insurance) to bridge the gap between FCA and CFR/CIF (Cost and Freight/Cost, Insurance, Freight). Currently, FCA includes the cost of international insurance on account of the seller-exporter, while CFR/CIF does not include the cost of freight.
  • Lastly, to alleviate questions surrounding the party responsible for paying Customs fees, the ICC will evaluate the creation of 2 Incoterms to replace DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).

Other issues and updates being evaluated during this round include:

  • Transportation security
  • Regulations on transportation insurance
  • Relationship between the Incoterms and the International Sale Contract

We will provide another update once the official Incoterms 2020 rules have been announced by the ICC. Please contact us if you have any questions.
