DB Schenker has announced the launch of four new weekly consolidation LCL services, reaching a total of 102 direct lanes from the South China region.

The new DB Schenker combine services will include lanes directly from Guangzhou to major cities of Milan, Le Havre, Rotterdam and Felixstowe, developing a more comprehensive regional coverage for the group's LCL product.

"The new services aim to offer our customers best-in-class connectivity and price, while increasing cargo safety standards and reducing transit times by eliminating previous transhipments through Hong Kong" said Henry Schmidl, director, ocean freight, Hong Kong and south China, Schenker International (HK).
