China – Europe rail transport

Dedicated Asia-Europe rail services that offer significant cost savings, faster transits and reduced carbon emissions.

The alternative solution for time-sensitive supply chains

Companies shipping between Europe and Asia have traditionally been limited to two options: expensive but faster air; or ocean, typically taking twice as long.

Initiated in 2013, the “One Belt, One Road” rail project links cities across China with Duisburg in northern Germany, transiting shipments arrive in 18 days, for onward distribution across continental Europe and the UK.

Services leave China every Monday and Thursday, with a through transit time of 18 days to the UK, arriving at London Gateway.

Your Asia transport choice

While air freight is much more expensive than rail, it will remain the primary choice when speed is vital. Sea, by contrast, is cheaper than rail, but can take twice as long, which is simply too slow for some shippers.

AIR = 4 days. 80% more expensive than Rail
SEA/AIR = 18 days. 60% more expensive than Rail
RAIL = 18 days. Twice weekly departures
SEA = 35 days
