DHL moves 5 containers & 2 gas cooler assemblies from Germany to India

September 7, 2020: The freight forwarding specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, DHL Global Forwarding, announced the movement of five containers and two bespoke gas cooler assemblies from Germany to India for DHL Industrial Projects Japan.

“The majority of the operation had to be undertaken during hours of darkness. Our team provided an excellent system of lighting on the quayside and the ship's gears necessary for safe loading operations ensuring successful delivery and zero accidents. Outstanding performance,” said the LinkedIn post.

Last week, DHL published a white paper on delivering stable logistics for vaccines and medical goods during Covid-19 suggesting the need for having public-private sector collaboration for an effective supply chain response, planning for emergency response, connecting partnership networks, building physical logistics infrastructure, ensuring IT-enabled supply chain transparency and organizing resources.

In July, DHL Global Forwarding has opened its first temperature-controlled facility in India at Hyderabad to meet the growing demand for reliable temperature-controlled transportation.

In August 2020, Niki Frank, chief executive officer, DHL Global Forwarding India, in a recent DHL blog noted that availability of labour at ports of entry to facilitate customs clearance of goods has hampered the flow of goods and is a key concern for the company in India.
