Dachser builds a European Hub for food in Erlensee

July 28, 2014 by Julia Hiles

Kempten/Erlensee, July 25, 2014. Global logistics service provider Dachser is making a new investment in Erlensee (Main-Kinzig District of Hesse). The company is erecting a European Food Shipment Hub with a total surface of 70,000 square meters in Landendiebach. The total investment is some 25 million euros.

Dachser has been represented in Erlensee since 2012 by its Frankfurt-Ost logistics center, where groupage shipments are transshipped. With construction to begin in September 2014, Dachser Food Logistics will soon have a new facility, built at a former airbase in Langendiebach.

The new location is conveniently located near Highway A 66, and in the fall of 2015 it will take over from the facility located in Offenbach. “We are pleased that a majority of the 160 employees working for us in Offenbach will follow us the 19 kilometers to Erlensee. In the medium term, we will also create 40 new jobs,” says Branch Manager Mathias Oetter.

The Offenbach Branch Office is the Dachser Food Logistics base for the Rhine-Main district and also serves as a central national food transshipment platform. Domestic shipments travel through the hub to reach their goal within 24 hours. The Offenbach facility, however, has no room to grow. Erlensee will replace it with expanded capacity for the rising volumes of inbound and outbound shipments as well as serving as an expanded hub. The new building includes a double-spanned 8,500 square meter transfer hall, cooled to between +2 and +7 degrees Celsius. In a second phase, the usable area can be expanded by another 3,000 square meters. 87 trucks can be simultaneously loaded or unloaded. In addition, a 2,500 square meter office building, a filling station, and a truck washing facility are being built. By integrating truck parking spaces, public parking areas can be left free.

“With this new facility, we are expanding the existing transfer node for German branch offices into a European hub for trans-border food shipments by all partners of the European Food Network,” notes Alfred Miller, Managing Director, Dachser Food Logistics. The new branch office will thus not only be an important hub for Dachser’s European Food Logistics facilities but also a core component of the European Food Network founded in 2013 by twelve partners. By using the additional bays and transfer areas being constructed as part of the new platform, some 26 countries can now be interconnected and transfer procedures and shipping times shortened.

About Dachser:

Dachser, a family-owned internationally operating company headquartered in Kempten, Germany, is one of the leading logistics providers in Europe.

Dachser provides comprehensive transport logistics, warehousing, and customer-specific services in three business fields: Dachser European Logistics, Dachser Food Logistics, and Dachser Air & Sea Logistics. Comprehensive and multi-disciplinary services, such as contract logistics, consulting and advisory services, and industry-specific solutions round out the company’s offerings. A seamless transport network—both in Europe and overseas—and information technology that is fully integrated into all its systems provide intelligent logistics solutions worldwide.

With a staff of 25,000 employees at 471 locations all over the globe, in 2013, Dachser generated revenue of almost EUR 5 billion and handled about 70 million shipments.

Evergreen Announces Improvements to UK and Ireland Services

July 28, 2014 by Julia Hiles

July 28, 2014

The global container carrier, Evergreen Line has announced enhancements to its services to/from Dublin (Ireland) and Liverpool (Northwest England). From its hub in Rotterdam the line will offer a twice-weekly service to Dublin and dedicated slots on a weekly basis to Liverpool.

The move is designed to more effectively integrate the line’s services to/from the North of England and Ireland with its extensive global network. Evergreen will run its own independent service on a weekly shuttle basis between Rotterdam and Dublin and will also commence a slot exchange arrangement with common carrier X-PRESS feeders on its weekly Dublin service from Rotterdam.

As part of the same slot exchange Evergreen will additionally take space on the X-PRESS weekly service to Liverpool, also connecting to deep-sea line-haul service via the line’s Rotterdam hub.

Evergreen sees the combination of its own vessel operation together with exclusive use of slots on a well-established feeder service as a significant improvement to the service it can deliver to its customers in two very important regions of trade. The arrangement meets both customer demands for regular and reliable service to Northwest UK and Ireland and cost-effective operational parameters.

Overall transit times to and from both ports will be enhanced and there will be an increased ability to coordinate the trans-shipment of cargo at Rotterdam. In addition to allowing its customer base on Merseyside and in the Republic of Ireland greater access to its worldwide service network, Evergreen believes the new initiative will also better serve other regions of the UK, including the North of England, Midlands and Scotland. With road transport becoming increasingly susceptible to unforeseen delays, customers requiring a more carbon-free approach to transport and fuel costs ever a consideration, Evergreen believes the short-sea option to be an important one to develop.

The Evergreen operated Vega Stockholm has a capacity of 698TEU and is due to make the inaugural sailing on the Dublin service from Rotterdam on 30th July. The slot arrangement on both X-PRESS services to Dublin and Liverpool will commence in the same week.

Evergreen Group hold Naming Ceremony for EVER LOADING

July 21, 2014 by Julia Hiles

July 18, 2014

Evergreen Group today held the naming ceremony for EVER LOADING, the sixth of its L-type vessels to be built by CSBC Corporation in Taiwan. The ceremony took place at CSBC’s Kaohsiung shipyard and was officiated by Mr. Bronson Hsieh, Evergreen Group’s Second Vice Group Chairman. The official rope-cutting of the new 8,508 TEU vessel was performed by Ms. Michelle Nardulli, a member of the Board of Directors of Italia Marittima, Evergreen’s Italian subsidiary.

Mr. Hsieh said in his speech that the vessel’s name symbolizes Evergreen Line’s target for continued business success. He also mentioned that the L-type vessels are very flexible in fleet deployment. With the smooth implementation of Evergreen’s fleet renewal program, such vessels have been widely deployed across the carrier’s service network, including trade routes from the Far East to Europe, Middle East and the US West Coast.

In the latest development, Evergreen recently made use of the 8,508 TEU ships to launch a new Asia – US East Coast service via Suez Canal with strategic partners. Currently the L-class vessels are among the maximum size of containerships that can pass under the Bayonne Bridge and call at New York port. Therefore, the service enables Evergreen to lower unit costs and enhance competitiveness in the Asia – US East Coast trade.

Owned by Evergreen Marine (UK) Ltd., EVER LOADING is 334.8 meters in length, 45.8 meters wide, with 948 reefer plugs. The L-class containership is fitted with alternative marine power, ballast water treatment system, electronic-controlled fuel-injection engine that supports slow steaming and many more eco-friendly designs. After her delivery on 29^th July, the newbuilding will join Evergreen Line’s Asia – US West Coast route, replacing an older vessel.

In 2010 Evergreen Group commenced its current fleet renewal program, which in total includes 30 L-type vessels. With the delivery of EVER LOADING, Evergreen adds the 26th such vessel to its operating fleet. The remaining four newbuildings are being built by CSBC and will be delivered by the third quarter of 2015.
