In a major boon for the logistics sector, DHL Global Forwarding Thailand has raised the stakes with the inauguration of their state-of-the-art International Multimodal Hub in Bangkok. Positioned in the Suvarnabhumi Airport’s Free Zone 3, the 480-square-metre facility emerges as an apex player in Southeast Asia's logistic landscape.

 

Evoking a notable shift towards a streamlined supply chain, the cutting-edge hub promises an amalgamation of road, air, and sea connection points. Vincent Yong, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Thailand, highlighted the strategic thrust that facilitates customs clearance centrally within Bangkok, bidding goodbye to border checks.

 

In addition to slashing transit times, the new facility, equipped with advanced security measures, offers a special storage area for high-value goods. Yong added, "Our multimodal hub waives Exporter of Record and Importer of Record prerequisites for transit shipments. It effectively simplifies the entire logistics process, thereby boosting our delivery efficiency."

 

 

Collaborating with the Airports of Thailand (AOT) and Thai Customs, DHL's latest venture redefines Thailand's geography from "landlocked" to "land-linked", reflecting local inclinations while firmly anchoring on an international approach. In line with Thailand's long-term vision, the hub is set to transform the country's role in regional logistics, fuelling seamless cross-border trade.

 

Leveraging DHL's AsiaConnect and AsiaConnect+ networks, the hub promises to extend its connectivity beyond Southeast Asia. Bruno Selmoni, DHL's vice president for road freight rekindled the importance of road transport and said, "A cohesion of rail and road routes expedite door-to-door lead times, striking a perfect balance between cost and speed."

 

With the nod towards digitisation and sustainable road freight, DHL's launch translates into Thailand becoming a quintessential cog in Southeast Asia's logistics engine, as reported by The Nation. Selmoni concluded, "With only three multimodal facilities in Thailand, we are proud to elevate the logistics game."
