DHL today announced the launch of direct Less than Container Load (LCL) services from New York to Vienna, Austria and Klaipeda, Lithuania; enhancing trade links from the United States to Eastern Europe and the Baltics. These new routes are part of an ongoing roll out of direct consolidations bringing fast, cost-efficient and reliable services to the market to help American companies succeed even in the most challenging business environments. Since the start of the year, more than nine direct LCL routes have been launched connecting the United States to ports globally.
Through Danmar Lines, DHL Global Forwarding’s in-house carrier, the new weekly guaranteed direct LCL service to Austria enables shipments to arrive up to five days earlier increasing business efficiency and competitiveness.
