Laem Chabang is strategically located near the eastern seaboard region of Thailand, commonly known as the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). It holds immense business significance as it is the central hub for Thailand’s export-oriented industries, such as manufacturing and exporting high-value goods like Japanese-branded automobiles. Laem Chabang plays a vital role in the nation’s global trade and commerce and drives significant demand for seamless imports and exports.
ECU Worldwide Thailand (ECU) is creating opportunities for businesses to leverage this locational advantage with its consolidation service at Laem Chabang Port, Bangkok Port, and Lat Krabang ICD. With this ground-breaking development, ECU is leading the way and creating a competitive advantage. Weekly direct services from Laem Chabang to ports in Japan are underway, and the company plans to launch new direct trade lanes to more destinations soon.
The latest consolidation service is a cost and time-effective game changer for businesses in the EEC. Historically, businesses have had to transport their cargo to Bangkok Port or Lat Krabang ICD for consolidation, increasing transportation costs and extending transit times. As Bangkok Port is a river port, containers move either via feeder vessels connecting to Singapore, shifting to a mother vessel, or a barge to Laem Chabang Port to catch the mother vessel. Similarly, containers from Lat Krabang ICD move to Laem Chabang before moving to their destinations, adding a distance of over 100 kilometres to their commute.
By offering a consolidation service right at Laem Chabang, ECU helps minimize these inefficiencies and circumvent several logistical hurdles. Businesses can now benefit from streamlined cargo handling, cost reduction, and optimized cargo movements. Forwarders can pick up cargo from shippers and send it to Laem Chabang directly. An array of value-added services, such as doorstep pick-up and customs clearance, enhances efficiency and mitigates disruptions, especially for businesses dealing in high-end goods with just-in-time production schedules.
ECU distinguishes itself as the only consolidator in Thailand offering services at Bangkok Port, Lat Krabang ICD, and Laem Chabang Port. ECU has extensive global reach across 180 countries with more than 2,400 direct trade lanes, door-to-door deliveries in over 50 markets, and simplified user experiences with its cutting-edge digital logistics platform – ECU360.
ECU’s expansion into Laem Chabang aligns with the EEC’s economic growth and development vision. This initiative contributes to the EEC’s overarching goal of consolidating itself as a regional economic powerhouse by simplifying logistics and trade processes. By providing an all-encompassing solution, ECU empowers businesses in the Eastern Seaboard region to thrive, making the most of the abundant opportunities within the EEC.
This initiative is a milestone, not just for ECU but for the entire EEC.
