The “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) which was launched in 2013, openеd a bright new opportunity for a connection between the Far East and Europe. The so-called “New Silk Road” is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects ever created. It takes inspiration from the original Silk Road which served as the main connector between Europe and Asia in the old times. The new project saw the building of a 12,000 km railroad system from East China to Poland and Germany. The transit time of the system varies between 14 and 18 days, while the lines themselves reach 21 provinces in China, as well as 11 European countries and 29 towns. This alternative connection to Europe allows us to upgrade our delivery chain and provide better opportunities for our clients.
The main advantages of the railroad transportation between China and Europe are:
Better access to Chinese towns which are situated far from the main ports, thus reducing the time and costs needed
Lower costs in comparison with air transport
Better transit time in comparison with freight transport
Scheduled regular shipping, with several trains per week
Very dependable and secure schedule with fixed departures, station-by-station adherence to the timetable, no delays and regardless of the changes in time
Economical solutions for heavy and bulk orders: at 1 kg/m3 = 600 kg
Eco-friendly transportation by electrical locomotives with low carbon emissions
Tracking and monitoring of the goods
Mirex Shipping offers block trains to and from China for both FCL and LCL shipments.
