From congested ports in South Africa to the difficulties of managing risks in high-volume shipping lanes like the Cape of Good Hope or securing airfreight capacity, companies must find innovative and reliable logistics solutions to remain competitive.“The current logistics landscape demands flexibility, control, and efficiency,” says Detlev Duve, Managing Director at DACHSER South Africa. “We're finding solutions to address the challenges head-on, enabling our customers to operate with confidence.”African businesses are grappling with several pressing issues in the logistics sector, says Duve. "Cape Town’s worsening port congestion, which can lead to vessel anchorage delays of up to 10 days, is disrupting timetables and pushing up costs. The rerouting of vessels around the Cape of Good Hope adds significant shipping time, up to 10 days. Increasing demand in airfreight as shippers switch to the skies is straining available capacity. Further complicating the picture, geopolitical tensions near critical trade corridors such as the Red Sea are creating ongoing risks for maritime traffic."Compounding these challenges are rising freight rates, driven by a shift in capacity as larger vessels are repurposed for more lucrative global trade lanes, leaving smaller ships to service Africa. "For shippers, these market dynamics translate to tighter margins, reduced operational efficiencies, and heightened uncertainty," says Duve. "A close, transparent partnership with your logistics provider is critical."DACHSER South Africa is stepping up to empower businesses across the region with tailored services, advanced technology, and strategic partnerships, providing solutions rooted in experience and expertise.Visibility with advanced track and traceIn a market prone to unpredictability, remaining informed is essential. Within its integrated DACHSER platform the logistics provider has deployed an enhanced track-and-trace system offering visibility into shipments. This innovation allows businesses to monitor their goods’ movement with accuracy and make informed logistical decisions. “Being in control of your shipment status is critical in today’s environment, and our track-and-trace tools ensure that our customers are always one step ahead,” explains Duve.Diversified shipping options, balancing transit time and costsDuve says it's vital to quickly analyse costs and lead times across different ports and carriers to find the most suitable arrangements for specific business needs. "We're working with clients to balance transit time and costs, evaluating trade-offs between faster delivery and higher shipping expenses to determine cost-efficient solutions."Consolidation strategy to combat rising freight costsTo counter rising freight rates caused by limited capacity on certain routes, DACHSER has enhanced its global LCL services, which consolidate multiple small shipments into one larger consignment. This approach allows businesses to optimise their logistics budgets. DACHSER has also expanded its own consolidations specifically designed to manage time-sensitive cargo. “At DACHSER, we manage block bookings for key trade routes and time-sensitive shipments, ensuring our customers receive cost-effective yet reliable service,” underscores Duve. By refining its already extensive consolidation network, DACHSER is extending access to more affordable shipping solutions without compromising on delivery timelines.Supporting airfreight needs with block space agreementsThe story of airfreight in 2025 centres on demand outpacing capacity, especially as online retail continues its steady growth. To fill this gap, DACHSER leverages its strategic block space agreements with air carriers. These agreements secure much-needed capacity for businesses reliant on airfreight, while DACHSER’s consolidation of shipments reduces overall costs.“With our airfreight consolidation services backed by efficient block booking systems, our customers can move critical consignments without delay—even amidst volatile market conditions,” Duve explains.Streamlining customs with AEO expertiseNavigating customs procedures is often a bottleneck in the African logistics chain. By securing top-tier Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) approval from the South African Revenue Service (SARS), DACHSER provides its customers expedited customs clearance and access to a dedicated SARS channel to resolve issues swiftly. “We’re proud to be an approved AEO service provider. This not only streamlines border control processes for our customers but also guarantees reliability in unpredictable conditions,” adds Duve.Sustaining an efficient supply chain requires constant adaptation and collaboration. By equipping businesses in Africa with robust digital tools, streamlined customs practices and scalable consolidation options, DACHSER effectively addresses both the immediate and long-term challenges in logistics. “We are strategic partners invested in helping our customers build resilient supply chains,” says Duve. “From enhanced visibility to cost-saving strategies, DACHSER delivers solutions that adapt and evolve in sync with Africa’s dynamic markets.” It is time to take proactive steps towards reliable logistics.

Changing regulatory requirements, security measures, inadequate insurance coverage, and compliance failures create mounting pressure. Without proper expertise, companies remain vulnerable to delays, penalties, and financial losses.The right logistics partner with customs and insurance expertise is crucial for international business success, says Detlev Duve, Managing Director of Dachser South Africa. "As businesses face pressure to ensure compliance whilst managing costs, it's essential to partner with a provider that understands the complexities of international trade and can provide customised solutions."According to Duve, essential factors for navigating customs and insurance successfully include regulatory knowledge, security certifications, insurance guidance, and risk management. "Potential customers should carefully evaluate how their logistics partners address compliance and protection needs. A lack of measures can lead to operational disruptions and financial exposure."Dachser's approach to customs and insurance covers services including customs data announcements, documentation preparation, and insurance advisory services.Customs expertise for international tradeInternational trade requires businesses to deal with customs regulations across multiple countries, each with its own requirements and security protocols. Dachser provides customs clearance services to businesses across all industries.The company is certified as an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) in several countries. This status provides customs control benefits worldwide – benefits which Dachser passes on to its customers. "Having AEO certification makes customs controls easier and ensures a consistent international supply chain," says Duve. "Our customs-approved security standards not only simplify customs clearance, they are also a seal of approval for global trading partners."Effective customs clearance requires more than just form-filling – it demands understanding of international trade regulations and security protocols. Dachser's experience with programmes such as C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) positions the company as a trusted partner for businesses requiring reliable customs clearance.Take the case of businesses exporting to the United States, which must comply with the 10+2 rule under the Importer Security Filing (ISF), where ten defined entries must be transmitted electronically to US Customs at least 24 hours before the ship leaves the port of departure. "We have been working as a registered filer on behalf of clients since 2009," says Duve. "Incorrect, late or missing filings can result in fines between $2,500 and $5,000, making professional handling necessary."Electronic customs procedures ensure fast and safe handling whilst reducing processing times. Dachser's customs specialists possess deep regulatory knowledge gained through decades of international experience. "We carefully navigate consignments through local and international customs rules and coordinate the entire customs clearance process with local authorities," explains Duve.As a global business, Dachser has an extensive network and can handle complex customs requirements across borders whilst maintaining the personal touch through local expertise. "Our team of customs specialists understands the details of international trade regulations and uses this knowledge to deliver customised solutions that meet our clients' compliance needs."Insurance expertise and risk managementWhen it comes to insurance, shipping to unfamiliar destinations that do not have well-organised infrastructure can add to the risk factor. While damage and loss is rare, it can be very expensive, making insurance costs money well spent, says Duve. Service delivery is at the heart of Dachser's insurance operations. Dachser is registered as an FSP in South Africa and clients benefit from insurance guidance that addresses potential coverage gaps."Not understanding insurance implications is a major risk for businesses," says Duve. "Our expert team advises clients on managing risks and filling insurance gaps, often assisting with documentation to ensure smooth clearance and delivery whilst protecting against financial exposure."For example, when it comes to protecting valuable shipments, it's vital to understand the difference between liability coverage and cargo insurance during transit, explains Duve. "Many businesses confuse freight insurance with cargo insurance, assuming their shipments are covered for full value with freight insurance," says Duve. "This misunderstanding can be a costly error, as freight insurance compensation is calculated on weight basis – meaning the same amount would be paid for one kilogram of platinum as for one kilogram of paper. Cargo insurance, which can be taken to cover the full value of a shipment while it is in transit, protects the customer.”As a logistics specialist in Africa, DACHSER South Africa is responsible for coordinating almost every aspect of customers shipments. “It makes sense for us to handle cargo insurance too as a value-added service,” says Duve. “We negotiate contracts, pay the premiums and submit claims on behalf of our customers, managing correspondence until a settlement is reached.”Harnessing global networksWith  433 locations in 43 countries, Dachser's global network provides customs and insurance expertise across key markets. This global reach helps when dealing with international trade regulations and security requirements. Dachser's decades of international experience ensures timely clearances, appropriate coverage, and avoidance of costly penalties and exposure."As an international logistics provider, it's essential to maintain excellent relationships with customs authorities and possess deep knowledge of trade regulations and insurance principles," says Duve. "When challenges arise, our expertise and network ensure we are in the best position to assist and keep clients protected and compliant. We strive to be a logistics partner that truly understands the details of customs compliance and insurance protection, committed to safeguarding our clients' interests," Duve concludes.(ENDS)About DACHSER:Dachser, a family-owned company headquartered in Kempten, Germany, provides transport logistics, warehousing, and customized services in two business fields: Dachser Air & Sea Logistics and Dachser Road Logistics.
