DHL starts LCL service from Malaysia to Shanghai, L.A.
DHL on Tuesday said it has further expanded its less than containerload services from Asia to the United States, with a link from Malaysia's Port Kelang to Los Angeles.
The service is also being offered from Kelang to Shanghai for distribution within China. Kelang is Malaysia's busiest container port and its closest major port to the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
'The launch of the new direct LCL service capitalizes on the local trade landscape as the U.S. and China remain among Malaysia's top five trading partners,' DHL said in a statement.
Since the start of 2009, the company has added 17 direct services from China, Thailand, Japan, India and Malaysia to key cities around the world.
'The new guaranteed weekly direct LCL services will enable shipments to arrive up to a week earlier through Danmar Lines, DHL’s in-house carrier,' said Reto Pergher, managing director of DHL Global Forwarding Malaysia. 'In addition, the service also offers in-house feeder systems covering inland points in China and the U.S.'
