Rail Transport to and from China

For many years, sea or air freight were the only options for trade with China. However, for over ten years, there has been a third alternative: rail transport. The route leads through Poland, Belarus, and Kazakhstan to China, providing a direct land connection. Sea Master Shipping offers weekly departures for all rail transports to and from China.

The advantages of rail transport for trade with China are convincing:

• Faster: Compared to sea freight, your goods can be transported 15 days faster. Wind and weather have minimal impact on rail traffic, and complications are almost excluded due to the direct connection.
  
  
• Cheaper: The transport is up to 80% cheaper than air freight, while maintaining similar safety and handling standards, which is crucial for sensitive goods.
  
  
• Environmentally Friendly: A transport kilometer by rail produces significantly less CO2 emissions than by truck, airplane, or ship, contributing to a better environmental balance – an increasingly important criterion for many companies and customers.

Although rail transport to and from China is more expensive than sea freight, the higher costs are often more than compensated by the advantages of rail transport. For the pre- and post-shipment handling of your goods, we combine rail transport with other modes of transport in a door-to-door service to deliver your goods cost-effectively and as quickly as possible. We are also happy to consolidate multiple shipments on your behalf.
