October 22, 2019: cargo-parter on Monday announced the new direct Less Container Load (LCL) rail transports along New Silk Road from China to many gateways in Central Europe with two departures per week.

The new service introduced to ensure fast transit times and avoid the risks of unloading and reloading offers numerous destinations in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia with low CO₂ footprint.

The international transport and info-logistics provider currently offers 40 Full Container Load (FCL) rail services and 15 LCL consolidation services from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Tianjin to Warsaw per week on the New Silk Road, including the new direct LCL connections between China and Europe.

Stefan Krauter, CEO, cargo-partner, said “The New Silk Road has been a reality for a long time. It will only become more important in the future – not just for shipments from East to West, but also for eastbound transports. Indeed, the company has been organizing full and part load container transports between Asia and Europe by rail for over half a decade. The volumes and routings handled by the logistics provider are continuously growing.”

FCL rail services between Europe and Asia

In the FCL segment, in addition to the traditional terminal connections in Germany, such as Duisburg and Hamburg, imports to Europe can now also be routed via Malaszewicze to and from Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Connecting rail and trucking services with all countries in Southern and Eastern Europe provides full coverage of this region.

Direct LCL transport

cargo-partner rail service has been also expanded by weekly consolidation services from Hamburg to China, with pick-up all across Europe and distribution throughout China. Another LCL rail service from China to Duisburg has also been launched, with further distribution in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and France.

Rail transport services of cargo-partner include door-to-door distribution and storage with a range of value-added services such as stuffing, unloading, palletizing and securing of containers as well as comprehensive customs clearance support and expertise in Europe and China. Modern GSM tracking tools ensure full transparency along the supply chain.
