Germany's DHL has strengthened its connectivity between Hong Kong and Brazil by raising the frequency of its existing Hong Kong-Manaus less than container load service schedule from a twice-weekly to a weekly service.
    This comes as DHL said it saw a significant increase in trade between both places last year.
    DHL operates 20 direct LCL services between Asia Pacific and South America, including three LCL services from Hong Kong to Brazil's Paranagua, Santos and Manaus ports.
    "Although we are seeing signs of economic recovery, customers are still looking for quality and valued logistics solutions," said Kelvin Leung, chief executive officer, DHL Global Forwarding, North Asia Pacific.
    "The enhanced LCL services have strengthened our coverage with more than 2,300 weekly point pairs from 24 north Asia Pacific terminals sailing to 98 destinations in South America," he said.
