Rail freight

Sending a container by rail instead of ship from China reduces the transit time from months to just weeks. There are daily departures from several cities in northern and eastern China, as well as several neighbouring countries including Vietnam and South Korea. Most locations in western and northern Europe and Russia are served by a guaranteed weekly general cargo container service from China.
