Rail Freight

Rail Freight Across China and Europe

Rail freight is Growing Rapidly

Transit times take between 12-24 days with direct routes from China to Europe, providing a cost effective, faster service for importers and exporters. 

The two main routes that are key for freight and project cargo movements are; the northern route, most suited to linking directly from northern China to Russia and the western route, travelling from China, across Kazakhstan and into the main junction into Europe.

 

The current China/European rail freight routes:

  • 12 days from China to Warsaw (Poland) 

  • 15 days from China to Hamburg (Germany)

  • 18 days to China – Moscow (Russia)

  • 23-24 days to China – United Kingdom (via Duisburg)
