Kerry Logistics Network Limited (Kerry Logistics) cited its freight solutions that connect Asia to Europe, providing alternative services to customers looking to reduce lead times and costs while improving the efficiency of global trade.

 

The Asia-based, global 3PL said its sea-air and road-air freight services across Eurasia have recently garnered increased interest — meeting evolving customer needs and market demands.

 

"In these challenging times for sea shipments between Asia and Europe, it is rewarding to offer our clients alternative and efficient solutions. Our sea-air and road-air services showcase our comprehensive Eurasian land freight capabilities and global connectivity," said Vic Cheung, group managing director of Kerry Logistics Network.

 

Kerry Logistics noted that its sea-air freight solution transports shipments from Chinese seaports to European airports within 16-21 days.

 

This service is also approximately 40% cheaper than conventional air freight and up to 40% faster than sea freight.

 

The global 3PL company noted that cargoes are transported by sea freight to Dubai followed by air transport to Europe, with operations centred at the Kerry Logistics Jebel Ali bonded facility in Dubai, ensuring maximum security and reliability.

 

Kerry Logistics' road-air, all-road, and road-rail services span from China through Central Asia to Europe, capitalising on its strong Eurasian land freight network and its regional hubs along the Silk Road trade corridor.

 

Road-air shipments are completed in 15-20 days, all-road in 20-25 days, and road-rail within 25-30 days, which is significantly faster than current sea freight times for similar routes.

 

In addition to speed and cost, Kerry said these solutions provide total visibility and CO2 emissions reporting, catering to shipments from various Asian origins to multiple European destinations.
