Railway Shipping Solutions from China to Europe: FCL, LCL and Door-to-Door

Published August 8, 2018 · Sino-Euro Railway

Our China–Europe rail freight solutions close the gap between air and sea freight: faster than ocean shipping, far cheaper than air, with high departure frequency, FCL and LCL options and reliable door-to-door delivery across the European Union. New energy vehicles are accepted; other battery-powered products and dangerous goods are not carried.

Flexible and direct. Whether it is congestion in the seaport, strikes or peak seasons paralyzing air traffic, our rail solutions move freight quickly and directly between China and Europe. Our team implements customer-specific transport solutions and responds rapidly to short-term projects and market changes.

Security and insurance. Our experienced multilingual staff works with an optimal partner network to ensure safe and timely delivery. Extensive security measures, such as anti-theft container locks and close shipment monitoring, keep transport smooth and safe, and freight insurance gives customers a worry-free package that covers all eventualities.

Our services include: FCL and LCL rail transport between China and the EU; reliable door-to-door solutions; single containers, wagon groups or block trains; LCL consolidations; cross-docking and customs clearance; transport insurance; and track-and-trace visibility.

Your benefits: high departure frequency, great flexibility, short transit times, an environmentally friendly solution, cost effectiveness, and the ability to move large volumes and heavy weights.

Q: Can you ship batteries or dangerous goods by rail from China to Europe? A: We carry new energy vehicles on our China–EU rail services. Other battery-powered products and dangerous goods are not accepted.

Q: What is the difference between FCL and LCL rail freight to Europe? A: FCL means your cargo occupies a full container; LCL means your goods share a container with other shippers' cargo through our consolidation service, so you pay only for the space you use.
