Advantages of rail freight transport
Here are the advantages of rail freight transport between China and EU, the main routes, and some practical considerations when shipping rail freight from China to UK.
Speed: Faster than a ship.
The rail freight from China to UK and EU, from terminal to terminal, and depending on the route, takes between 15 and 18 days. That is roughly half the time it takes to move containers by ship.
With these shorter transit times, businesses can react more quickly to changing market demands. In addition, shorter transit times lead to more rotations and thus less stock in the supply chain. In other words, businesses can free up working capital and lower their capital costs.
