Since entering the market 10 years ago, the international logistics provider Dachser has established a strong footprint in the Brazilian market. To keep up with this growth, the company has now expanded its office space in Curitiba by 45%. The capital of Paraná is one of the main export and import centers in the country.

Curitiba is the 18th city that most imported in 2019 and the 34th that most exported in Brazil. It is also among the four cities which lead the ranking of exports and imports of Paraná

João Paulo Caldana, Dachser’ Managing Director in Brazil

It’s over there where the country’s main distribution networks pass towards the neighboring states and the Port of Paranaguá. The port is about 90 kilometers from the capital and moves millions of tons of goods to the rest of Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. In addition, São José dos Pinhais airport, in Curitiba’s metropolitan area, operates international flights, cargo and large aircrafts.

Dachser links its air and sea transport services with the region´s potential for road transports.

According to Paraná’s Secretary of Sport and Tourism, the state has the largest network of highways and paved roads in southern Brazil. There are approximately 13,750 kilometers of paved highways, standing out BR-277 (Grande Estrada) and BR-376 (Rodovia do Café/Contorno Sul), which connects Paraná’s far northwest to Santa Catarina and the state of São Paulo to the southern region of the country, respectively.

“Brazil has an enormous potential for logistics services. Our growth in Curitiba aims at strengthening our company's local and regional activities: sea and air transportation, storage and freight network”, comments the executive. The office expansion in Paraná’s capital follows other openings around Latin America, as recently happened with the company's Brazilian headquarters in the port city of Santos and with the offices in the capitals of Argentina and Chile in August this year.

Current situation in India and the impact on DACHSER’s operations

Regarding the current situation in India, we would like to give an update about DACHSER’s operations in India. The situation as of today, April 28, 2021, is as follows:

Most branch offices across India are being kept closed as a precautionary measure due to the sudden rise of COVID cases. Our teams are working from home, with only skeletal staff at the offices and hence there are likely to be delays in responses due to the ongoing crisis. As a consequence of the lockdown, there are some operational impacts for air, sea, customs clearance and domestic trucking.

Air Freight:

  • Most countries have barred passenger traffic from India leading to no passenger carrying flights operating on International routes from/to India
  • This has created some additional constraint on already stressed space availability situation
  • Rates are bound to inch upwards for all sectors
  • Transit times too have increased as a consequence of capacity crunch

Sea Freight:

  • Sea freight was already facing the challenges due to the Suez Canal blockage end of March.
  • Ports and terminals are functioning normally, but vessel schedules are impacted by the Suez Canal blockage as well as the sudden rise of COVID cases in India.Therefore delays are expected. Customers are advised to factor in delays of 1-2 weeks while planning their inventories.
  • We expect more delays in communication or operations due to increasing COVID infections among staff at ports, customs, CFS and shipping lines.

Customs:

  • We do not have any unexpected disruptions in cargo movement in India, nor is any work stoppage expected at present.
  • Customs clearance activities are functional at the movement.
  • Customs is working with less manpower, no Customs Brokers is allowed to meet the customs officials, all processes is done faceless and things are moving in slow phase.

At DACHSER, we have undertaken significant measures to ensure our employees’ health and safety, at the same time continue to manage our day-to-day operations with minimal impact to our customers’ supply chains. Our teams are working diligently by all possible means in these testing times to assist and to overcome the challenges being faced.

Please rest assured that we will keep you updated of any changes to the current situation. In case of questions, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative in the region.
