DHL improves freight services in South East Asia

DHL is now offering cross-border road freight services for its customers in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, reports Bernama. The article continues:

According to the company, the bonded and non-bonded services will reduce freight cost by 25% compared to air freight and customers also benefit from the shorter transit time of one day relative to ocean freight on a port-to-port basis.

The services will ensure that shipments of less than 100kg to over 2,000kg goods are pre-planned and delivered on time which is crucial for customers in the automotive, consumer, high-tech, and oil and gas sectors, it said.

DHL chief executive officer, global forwarding South Asia, Thomas Tieber, said the new services are expected to facilitate trade between the leading trade partners of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

“Total bilateral trade between Malaysia and Thailand increased from $15bn in 2006 to $19.6bn in 2008,” Tieber said.

“Malaysia is also Singapore’s top trading partner with bilateral trade reaching $111.4bn in 2008, an increase of 1.4% from the year before,” he said.

DHL chief executive officer, global forwarding Southeast Asia, Sam Ang, said the cross-border freight services were operating from the Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Sadao and Singapore hubs.
