Less Than Container Load (LCL)

Delivering the world

As a customer of DHL, you can expect service excellence from a truly global player:

  • we recognise LCL (Less than Container Load) as being a crucial part of a total Ocean Freight system and dedicate substantial resources to system development and maintenance. The total yearly volumes handled globally exceed 1,400,000 cbms.
  • comprehensive global network systems are needed for traditional LCL as well as LCL/FCL or buyers consolidations.
  • running in-house systems that deliver control of cargo flow, information flow, speed, accuracy and cost efficiency is our philosophy.
  • our first priority is to serve all major markets with direct consolidations from our strong network of national gateways.
  • a number of large multinational gateways act as back-up for the direct consolidations, by running in-house feeder systems in most big markets.
  • our goal is to carry over 97 per cent of our total LCL volumes in-house.
  • in working with reputable carriers, we create fast, cost-efficient and reliable LCL services that enhance our customers' competitiveness.

All LCL services are accompanied by first-class IT solutions offering Track & Trace, Order Monitoring Systems and other tools for you to monitor cargo and information flow.
