New contract logistics warehouse in Hong Kong

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics has relocated its previous warehouse in Hong Kong. The new site offers the logistics provider 2,800 m2 on which to carry out contract logistics services for its customers.

The new location of the DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics warehouse in Hong Kong features 500 pallet spaces and 14,000 in racks on 2,800 m².

Located in a northern district of Hong Kong, the site of the new warehouse offers strategic advantages. The facility features more than 500 pallet spaces on the ground and a further 14,000 in racks. It is staffed by a total of 17 people. The warehouse stores mainly electronic components, mechanical parts, and lighting products. In addition to warehousing, DACHSER also offers contract logistics services, such as value-added services and import/export processing, from the new Hong Kong facility. The company has also staffed the site with employees who are experts in pick & pack.

Accessibility to markets

The new warehouse benefits from its prime location, offering short regional and international transit times that allow DACHSER to quickly process goods flows between Hong Kong and major Asian capitals. “Under normal conditions, from our Hong Kong warehouse we can reach B2B and B2C customers as well as domestic airports and seaports within one hour,” says Alex Wong, Contract Logistics Manager Hong Kong at DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics.

As a free port, Hong Kong enjoys certain geographical advantages and is a major logistics hub in the Asia-Pacific region. Its proximity to the Chinese mainland also makes it a key hub for connecting Chinese manufacturers to European and US markets, while straightforward customs procedures further enhance the location’s appeal. DACHSER has been operating a warehouse specially designed for contract logistics in Hong Kong since 2014.

Coronavirus: updates on DACHSER’s operations in China

The Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia recently spread rapidly in China and many cities and provinces have confirmed cases. In order to keep the epidemic under control, the Central Government has announced the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday to February 2. Local authorities, however, have requested enterprises in that region to not have their employees return to the office until a specific later date, mostly on February 10.

DACHSER Branches

Most of the DACHSER branches will officially re-open on February 10. Starting from Monday next week, February 3, depending on cities and permissions from local authorities, skeleton staff will be arranged to enter the office building to manage critical shipments and minimize impact like detention, demurrage fee, TLX release and etc. We regret that we could not provide full operations but will try out best to maintain basic services.

The date for re-opening is changing on a daily basis and is subject to change depending on the situation. As of today, January 31, 2020, the re-opening date of each branch is as follows:

Operations in Wuhan

General business in China

While we are trying our best to keep the operation as smooth as possible, please note that most of the factories in China are still closed; trucking services, flights and terminals are operating at minimum service level. Delays and other operational issues are to be expected.

We will continue to update you via our website with the latest information on how this is impacting your supply chain. Should you have any concerns and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
