A new rail freight service has been launched, offering customers a 16-day transit time both east and westbound along the ‘new Silk Road;, between Duisburg, Germany, and Hefei, Chongqing, and Chengdu, China.
Customers can charter a train, or book Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) shipment on weekly scheduled services to and from over 15 stations in China.
The supply chain company is also planning to offer e-commerce customers shipping parcels from Europe to China a cost-effective service on the same route.
“We have seized the opportunity to provide integrated logistics for our customers, who increasingly require shorter transit times than ocean freight, and lower costs than airfreight,’ said the company’s Managing Director.
