DHL launches Hong Kong-Guatemala service

A new weekly less-than-a-container-load (LCL) service has been launched by DHL, connecting Hong Kong and Guatemala. The move will boost trade flows between Asia Pacific and Central and South America.

Central and South America account for 1.4% of Hong Kong’s exports, at present.

Kelvin Leung, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, North Asia Pacific, said:  “A number of prominent trends are affecting the freight forwarding industry – globalisation of the supply chain, shortening of product lifecycles and low inventory. In the face of these trends, our customers are sourcing for the most cost effective yet reliable freight forwarding solution for their own customers’ needs. The link from Hong Kong to Guatemala enhances our existing robust LCL global portfolio and service network.”
