CEVA starts Shanghai-Budapest LCL service

CEVA Logistics has started a weekly less-than-containerload service from Shanghai to Budapest, Hungary.

   CEVA Logistics has started a weekly less-than-containerload service from Shanghai to Budapest, Hungary.  
   The weekly service operates direct from the port in Shanghai to Koper on Slovenia’s Adriatic coast, where containers are then railed to Budapest. Transit times are 30 days from Shanghai to Koper and then five to seven days for the inland transportation, the third party logistics services provider said.
   From there, the CEVA warehouse in Budapest can dispatch LCL shipments to other European destinations. 
   “This is an end-to-end CEVA-owned solution for our LCL customers. It starts with our own dedicated trucking network in China where we can feed into Shanghai from key cities across the country. And with our CEVA warehouse in Budapest operating as our container freight station there is no external handling of cargo or any third-party warehousing,” said CEVA’s Global LCL Director Greg Scott in a statement.
