When it comes to transportation between Asia and Europe, multiple options are available to consider. Land bridge logistics connects the two continents, providing solutions that are environmentally friendly, efficient and secure by integrating sea and rail transport.
The Silk Road is one of the oldest trade routes in the world, connecting Asia and Europe by land and sea. This route, referred to as the land bridge, includes multiple pathways, making it a reliable and flexible transport solution.
Rhenus land bridge transportation is available as a full-container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL) or through freight consolidation along this route. FCL provides dedicated capacity along with added flexibility, while LCL or consolidation via inland hubs in China and Europe is a particularly cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for smaller shipments. Lead times differ depending on this mode of transportation: Westbound transit takes an average of 11 to 22 days while eastbound takes approximately 11 to 24 days. Daily tracking updates provide visibility and reliability during the movement of your goods. The most commonly used container equipment is 40-foot high cube and 20-foot containers, although special equipment is available upon request.

In comparison with sea transport, land bridge logistics offer a faster alternative.
Rail transport adjusts rapidly to shifting demands, giving you high flexibility with numerous locations available for container pickup and delevery.
Land bridge transport serves as a more affordable alternative to air freight while delivering shorter transit times than ocean shipping.
A variety of route options make land bridge transportation especially reliable.
Our international experts are ready to plan your land bridge logistics solution for efficient and reliable transportation along the Silk Road.
Land bridge transport refers to the movement of goods along the new Silk Road between Europe and Asia. While primarily land-based, it also supports intermodal solutions that combine both sea and land transport.
The new Silk Road combines the strengths of rail and sea transport. Compared to purely sea-based options, land bridge transport is faster, more flexible and more reliable. It also offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to air freight.
The new Silk Road enables connections to China, the CIS countries and Europe.
In land bridge transportation, security is maintained by means of strict protocols, including secure handling and monitoring of cargo at every stage. If required, we also offer additional services such as specialized seals and motion-detectoion tracking devices to increase security levels.
