Rail freight on the new Silk Road

The transit time and the costs are essential when choosing the right means of transport. As air freight is often too expensive and sea freight too slow, there has been a rising demand for compromise solutions. Shipment by Rail. While transport from China to Europe was still a risk 10 years ago, the infrastructure is now growing from year to year and new solutions are constantly being added. Together with our offices in Asia, we look for the right solution for your needs with a full service from the factory to you.

Regardless of whether you have general cargo or full containers to ship, we offer you reliable services at competitive rates for full containers as well as our Dörrenhaus consolidated containers.

Trucks on the Silk Road

Another alternative to air freight or transport by train, transport by truck has now become established on the new Silk Road from China to Europe.

With transit times of 14-16 days from door to door, the transit time of the train can be reduced by up to 2 weeks. In comparison to the train, hazardous goods such as batteries or temperature-controlled goods can also be transported by truck.

Our offices in China take professional care of export customs clearance in China and discuss with your suppliers which documents are required. Export customs clearance is part of the transport package and is already prepared during the pre-carriage phase so that no delays occur during transhipment. As soon as the truck reaches the border to Europe, a T-document is created, which is then sent to our customs department to prepare for import customs clearance. This means that the import customs clearance of the truck can be prepared before arrival and the truck can be cleared through customs as soon as it arrives at its final destination.

Sea-Air

The third alternative for accelarating your shipment consists in our Sea-Air solution. Seasonal effects and a lack of air freight capacity are increasingly leading to enormous price fluctuations and capacity problems due to a lack of freight space.

Fixed advance booking with the airlines guarantees immediate onward transport by air freight and therefore the shortest possible transit times. This way, capacity bottlenecks on local procurement markets can also be avoided - in the truest sense of the word - if, for example, all direct air freight capacities from your procurement country are exhausted due to a peak season. Thanks to our decades of experience, we know all the details that are necessary for safe and efficient processing. In the course of a shipment, deliveries are booked by air freight container so that they can be handled quickly and efficiently both at the port of transshipment and at the destination.
