The Netherlands-based logistics giant CEVA Logistics has launched three less-than-container load (LCL) lanes into Australia.
The latest additions to CEVA’s global ocean freight services are from Shanghai, China, and Singapore to three locations in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, and Fremantle.
The three lanes in Asia-Pacific are already operational. The Shanghai-Sydney lane has a transit time of 16 days and also serves the Brisbane area. After cargo is cleared at CEVA’s container freight station (CFS) upon arrival, delivery to final destinations in Sydney takes just three to five days after the vessel arrives in port and to Brisbane within a further two days.
The Shanghai-Melbourne lane, also serving Adelaide, has a transit time of 19 days and also benefits from faster freight availability through CEVA’s CFS in Melbourne. CEVA delivers locally in Melbourne within three to five days of vessel arrival, with guaranteed overnight transit to Adelaide.
The Singapore to Fremantle transit time is about seven days, with faster freight availability at CEVA’s Perth CFS.
Shanghai and Singapore’s strategic locations make them ideal regional hubs to connect Asia with the rest of the world, and CEVA’s integrated network offers direct access to over 100 transshipment destinations throughout Southeast Asia and the Indian sub-continent, the company said in a statement.
Greg Scott, CEVA’s global LCL director, said: “With Shanghai and Singapore recognized as two of the world’s busiest ports, these new routes provide our customers with much needed services into Australia.”
In the coming months, the company said it plans to offer further services to Sydney and Melbourne out of Hong Kong and Hamburg, Germany.
