FREIGHT forwarder DSV has expanded its road transport operation between China and Europe as airfreight capacity
constraints continue.
The
company initially launched its road operation in May as it looked to offer an
alternative to the capacity constraints and rising rates being felt in air
cargo. While the service initially covered only western Europe, this has now
been expanded to the whole of the continent in response to positive customer
feedback, a spokesperson said. It has also been given a new name: Silkway Express.
The
forwarder said the service offers "door-to-door transit times of 14-18
days at reasonable rates", making it a "highly competitive alternative to air,
rail and sea freight".
"With
Covid-19 there is no business as usual," the forwarder said in a press
release. "Passenger flight cancellations are putting pressure on
airfreight, causing capacity constraints.
"In
addition to quick transit times of 14-18 days at rates much lower than
airfreight, DSV Silkway Express offers more
flexibility - not least in timing."
DSV
said it would collect the cargo whenever it's ready, removing concerns about cut
off times. Goods are moved seven days a week with multiple pickup and delivery
locations possible, reports London's Air Cargo News.
"DSV
works solely with trusted partners to ensure that goods arrive at their
destination safely, and all trucks are sealed and equipped with GPS tracking in
order for customers to follow their events on myDSV," the forwarder added.
