Operated by DHL’s in-house carrier, Danmar Lines, these new weekly direct LCL services shave up to a week off transit times, with shipments from Jakartay arriving in Los Angelesy and Hamburg in 22 days and 25 days respectively.

Shipments arriving in LA can be delivered to an additional 54 US destinations via DHL’s inland network.

According to Steve Ryan, managing director of DHL Global Forwarding Indonesia, the introduction of the LCL service in Indonesia supports the government’s plans to turn Tanjung Priok Port into an international hub that can compete with other ports in the region.
