DHL starts L.A./Tianjin LCL service
DHL has begun direct less-than-containerload service from Los Angeles to Tianjin using DHL Global Forwarding’s in-house carrier Danmar Lines.
'The new weekly direct LCL services enable shipments to arrive up to eight days earlier as cargo is shipped directly from Los Angeles to northern China instead of being routed via Hong Kong,' DHL said. 'From Xingang-Tianjin, shipments can be further distributed within northern China, including Baotou, Beijing, Datong, Qinhuangdao, Shijiazhuang, Qinhuangdao, Taiyuan and Xi’an.'
This year, DHL has started six other direct LCL services, aimed at U.S. exporters, from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
