Freight forwarder Panalpina has launched six new direct less-than-container load (LCL) services on the intra-Asia trade through its in-house carrier Pantainer Express Line.
The weekly services all run out of Shanghai (China), separately connecting to Keelung (Taiwan), Manila (Philippines), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore and Jakarta (Indonesia).
The six new weekly services have been introduced to meet the demand from the consumer, high-tech and telecom industry within Asia, Panalpina said in a 25 January release.
The services to Bangkok and Singapore already existed but have now been upgraded to two and three sailings respectively per week.
With short lead times and improved frequencies, customers will now benefit from ocean freight economies of scale regardless of their order volumes, the company added.
