Celebrating two years of Tailwind Shipping Lines 🚢 Two years ago, the Hamburg-based TAILWIND Shipping Lines launched its first voyage from Taicang, China. Since then, Tailwind's fleet has grown to nine vessels, including the largest vessel, Panda 006, with a capacity of 6,800 twenty-foot equivalent units. With a particularly reliable schedule and short transit times, Tailwind Shipping Lines, as a subsidiary of Lidl International, plays a decisive role in securing the supply chains for Lidl as well as for a growing number of external customers. Tailwind Shipping Lines’ services offer fast and reliable connections: 🐼 Panda Express Service (PAX): China (Qingdao, Ningbo, Dachan Bay) – Mediterranean (Barcelona in Spain, Koper in Slovenia) 🐯 Tiger Express Service (TEX): Bangladesh (Chattogram) – Sri Lanka (Colombo) 🐬 Dolphin Express Service (DEX): Spain (Barcelona) – The Netherlands (Moerdijk) By calling at smaller ports close to major commercial centers, Tailwind avoids waiting times and offers maximum reliability and punctuality. "We have established ourselves as a premium service provider in the market, transporting goods to and from Asia. We are fast, on time and reliable. This is an essential service, especially for our main customer Lidl with fixed advertising dates and weekly changing promotional goods. At the same time, the interest of external customers in our transportation services is growing," summarizes Christian Stangl, Managing Director of Tailwind Shipping Lines. "We structure our services from the customer's point of view and ensure that the goods arrive in Europe and on the shelves of the stores on time.”   In challenging geopolitical times, Tailwind has shown flexibility by adjusting routes to continue to provide the fastest and most reliable connection between China and the Mediterranean. Here's to many more successful years, TAILWIND Shipping Lines! #LidlInternational #DropOfTheWeek #TailwindShippingLines #SupplyChain #teamlidl
