DHL inks Shopify partnership for easier seller access
This story was originally published on Supply Chain Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Supply Chain Dive newsletter. DHL is now a pre-integrated partner in Shopify's shipping platform, giving Shopify sellers easier access to the logistics giant's network and delivery services, according to a May 26 announcement. The integration with Shopify Shipping, which offers merchants discounted shipping rates and other services, is live in the U.S. and Germany. By 2026, DHL shipping options on Shopify will also be available in other major markets in the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. 'Sellers on Shopify will no longer need to onboard a logistics provider independently, so that they can streamline operations and reduce administrative burdens,' the announcement said. 'Also, the DHL integration helps sellers manage complex customs, legal, and administrative tasks.' DHL is among several logistics providers that have secured shipping partnerships with e-commerce platforms. FedEx rolled out rate discounts in Pitney Bowes' ShipAccel and Auctane's product suite last year, while UPS and the U.S. Postal Service have their own arrangements with major platforms. DHL, UPS and the Postal Service are carriers with U.S. coverage that sellers can access on Shopify Shipping with discounted rates. For DHL Express, Shopify's website touts savings of up to 80% on international shipping. For carriers, these partnerships can be appealing by giving them the opportunity to serve a larger pool of customers, particularly in the lucrative small- and medium-sized business segment. For sellers, the arrangements often provide lower shipping rates than what they could secure through individual contract negotiations. DHL and Shopify's new partnership in particular aims to offer millions of e-commerce merchants a quicker and more efficient way to leverage domestic and cross-border logistics services. One perk for U.S. merchants tapping into the collaboration is Delivered Duty Paid shipping, removing the risk of shoppers facing unplanned fees. 'This service protects consumers from unexpected additional fees such as customs charges or import sales tax, as DDP shipping ensures that the merchant has taken care of all costs and formalities,' the announcement said.

Russian captain denies unlawful killing of crew member in North Sea collision
The Russian captain of a container ship that crashed into a US oil tanker in the North Sea has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. The Solong's master, Vladimir Motin, 59, of Primorsky, St Petersburg, is accused of the unlawful killing of crew member Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, in the collision off the East Yorkshire coast. On Friday, Motin appeared at the Old Bailey by videolink from HMP Hull for a plea hearing before Judge Mark Lucraft KC. Assisted by a Russian interpreter, Motin confirmed his identity before he pleaded not guilty to a single charge of the manslaughter of Filipino national Mr Pernia on March 10. Judge Lucraft set a further hearing on September 10 ahead of the defendant's trial on January 12 2026. Motin was charged over Mr Pernia's death after his vessel collided with the American tanker Stena Immaculate near the Humber Estuary on March 10. All 23 people on the tanker were rescued along with 13 crew from the Solong, but Mr Pernia could not be located. Mr Pernia was working in the forward deck of the Solong, in an area where there was an explosion. The collision happened at about 9.47am at 10.2 nautical miles from the nearest point on the coast, a previous hearing was told. The 140m-long Solong is Portuguese-registered and was carrying about 157 containers. The Stena Immaculate is 183m long and was carrying jet fuel. It anchored at the point of the collision about 15 hours before the impact. The Solong was travelling at about 15 knots when it hit the port side of the other vessel.
