DACHSER to offer charters again for peak season

To create additional capacity during the peak season in the Autumn, logistics provider DACHSER is once again offering a premium flight between Asia and Europe. Starting in mid-October, the charter will fly the Frankfurt–Shanghai–Frankfurt route once a week.

DACHSER is again offering a dedicated premium charter this fall.

Production is gradually recovering and demand for air freight is rising from month to month, yet there is still too little cargo space available due to the reduced passenger flight volume. In light of this situation, the DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics team expects a strong peak season in the fourth quarter of the year with high demand for air freight capacity.

“We assume that the peak season in air freight will focus on products from Asia, especially from China and Hong Kong,” says Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at DACHSER. “We expect demand to peak from mid-October to December, especially from Asia, where industry is really picking up speed again.” To meet this market demand, DACHSER is again offering a dedicated premium charter this fall. As of mid-October, a Boeing 747-400 will be flying once a week as a full charter between Frankfurt and Shanghai. DACHSER handles Europe-wide distribution via the Frankfurt Import Gateway.

Premium product under current market conditions

This is the third time DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics is running this project. Fixed transit times make the service reliable and enable customers to plan ahead. By combining its road and air and sea logistics networks, DACHSER is able to respond quickly to changing route situations in Europe and accelerate the pickup and delivery processes. “With this global network capability, we are well prepared for the challenges of the ‘new normal’ and can offer our customers a robust and reliable capacity solution under current market conditions,” Stroh says.

EU Exit Update

With the recent updates and the new government campaign on the EU Exit, we at DACHSER wanted to inform you of some key points that have arisen that you may find relevant for your organisation.

While trade talks continue to progress slowly, the month of June presented the last opportunity for the UK Government to extend the transition period currently due to end on 31 December 2020.

The date passed with no request for an extension, and now the focus is on a phased introduction to customs controls in the UK as of 1 January 2021. The transition phase will allow traders to recover from the impact of COVID-19 and to prepare for the new requirements. The UK will be subject to full customs control at its borders by 1 July 2021.

Earlier this year, the UK Government took steps to remove certain customs easements, including Transitional Simplified Procedures (TSP), and Post VAT Accounting (PVA). However, they have reconsidered and understood there is a need for some customs easements to be in place.

As a result, we have seen the reintroduction of postponed VAT accounting and a new form of the import process to enable the importer of record to account for their shipments by creating an entry into their records. Further information on this process can be found on the GOV.UK website.

On 12 July 2020, the Government announced funding of £705 million to build border facilities, invest in new technology and to create 500 new jobs within the border force to give further development of the infrastructure in preparation to the EU exit. Within this amount, there is £50 million available to support with training and IT equipment to complete customs declarations which you may be able to benefit from.

There will be an EU Summit Meeting for final discussions between the UK and EU on 17-18 October 2020. Finally, on 19 October 2020, we should see the summary and conclusion of a deal or no-deal scenario. 

We should not lose sight that regardless of the outcome of these discussions, customs administration will be necessary on all goods entering and exiting the UK as of January 2021, albeit in a phased approach.

The UK Government have also announced ‘The UK’s new start: Let’s get going’ campaign which is designed to give everybody easy and quick access to information and actions that people and businesses need to take to prepare for the end of the transition period.

DACHSER delivers giant crane for space mission

Back in September 2021, the DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics teams in Boston and Cologne had begun meticulously planning the transport of a colossal extra-long crane. The plan was to ship the crane together with its chassis from Germany to the United States so that it could then complete its journey by road. Its purpose: nothing less than to help build a space rocket in Houston. But then all the careful planning had to be thrown overboard.
