Freight forwarder Dimerco has partnered with Cathay Cargo to carry out the pilot operation of a new Air-Sea solution transporting shipments from Singapore to Dongguan, China via Hong Kong.
Dimerco developed the Air-Sea solution to provide a faster alternative to the Air-Truck service mode. This new initiative is designed to shave up to a full day off the established Air-Truck schedule.
The Dimerco team worked closely with Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to optimize the transit time for a shipment of integrated circuits for a leading semi-conductor distributor.
Originating in Singapore, the shipment travelled by air to HKIA, then by sea to the Port of Dongguan (DGM) and by truck to DGM Logistics Park and on to the delivery destination. The total transit time took three days.
