The Rail transport China - Europe is establishing itself as a strategic alternative to sea and air freight. With transit times of between 18 and 24 days, the rail link across the Eurasian land bridge offers a stable, predictable solution for transport between China and Germany - and beyond throughout Europe, including Serbia. The growing importance of this route is based on efficiency, safety and constant availability of transport capacities.

For companies planning time-critical goods movements, rail transport enables a significant reduction in delivery times compared to sea freight via the Suez Canal, which often takes 40 to 50 days. At the same time, this form of transport is cost-efficient and offers a reliable addition to existing logistics chains.

Dörrenhaus offers structured Rail freight solutions between China and Germany, that are customised to your requirements. Our services cover all phases of transport - from collection to final delivery to the recipient. The service is provided by experienced logistics experts and is supported by modern digital systems.

Flexible transport options: FCL and LCL

Full container loads (FCL) and less-than-container loads (LCL) are available depending on the volume of goods and deadlines.

For larger units, the Container train freight transport plannable areas and short turnaround times.

Routes and transit times

The main rail transport route runs through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Poland. Małaszewicze is the central transhipment point from which cost-optimised onward transport within Europe, particularly to Germany or Serbia, is possible by truck. This creates an efficient multimodal solution that saves time and resources.

Transparency and security along the logistics chain

A key advantage of rail transport from China to Europe is the stability of the processes. Despite stopovers and border clearances, standardised processes guarantee secure and transparent handling. Dörrenhaus takes care of all administrative tasks - including customs preparation, documentation and shipment tracking - for seamless control of your deliveries.

Digital monitoring and tracking

Modern IT systems give customers access to real-time information on the location and status of their consignments. The combination with the China Express Service provides additional flexibility if certain routes require faster delivery.

Integration into multimodal logistics chains

Dörrenhaus integrates rail transport seamlessly into existing supply chain structures. With the help of automated interfaces and coordinated processes, rail transport becomes an economical addition to existing transport strategies. This increases planning reliability and reduces the risk of delivery delays in the long term.

Process and support: from enquiry to delivery

Every transport begins with an individual analysis of your requirements. You will receive binding feedback on availability and transit times from the Hamburg site within 24 hours. The Dörrenhaus team then takes over the operational management of the entire process - from dispatch in China to border formalities and delivery in Europe.

Efficient planning and customs clearance

The Customs clearance is a central component of rail transport. Dörrenhaus coordinates all formalities along the route in close consultation with regional partners. This results in clear, time-stable processes and precise cost calculations - essential for companies with international supply chains.

Optional additional services

Additional services such as interim storage, transshipment or combined Rail-sea-air configurations enable a transport solution that is fully customised to your logistics strategy. This flexibility ensures a sustainable increase in efficiency and reduces bottlenecks in the global transport of goods.
