Time

Considering the transport time, rail transport is a particularly attractive alternative to maritime transport. The time it takes to transport between European cities (eg Lodz, Malaszewicze, Warsaw, Duisburg, Nuremberg, Tilburg) and cities from China (Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, X'ian, Changsha, Xiamen, Hefei, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Shanghai, Chongqing, Yiwu, Shenyang, Changchun) is 12 - 16 days.

An important argument, especially for companies importing / exporting expensive products, is the fact that shorter transport enables them to sell the goods earlier.

Certainty

Rail transport is more attractive for many clients because:

• There is no impact of moisture, sea salt or climate zone changing which could damage the cargo.
• Rail transport to/from China is carried out with great regularity and offers connections to many stations. It allows to choose the best option depending on the client’s needs.

Price

Initially, rail transport from / to China was more expensive than transport by sea. However, year by year these differences blur. This is due to increasing volumes of transport, which reduces the cost of the service. Moreover, the Chinese government pushes for developing the New Silk Road and subsidizes rail transport.

Price quotations on rail freight are among the most stable and predictable, which allows long-term planning of transport costs. (It usually changes once a year around the Chinese New Year). In addition, all costs are included in the price. The clients for LCL won’t be surprised by any additional fees, such as CISF in maritime transport.
