Transportation between Asia and Europe can be managed through different solutions. Land bridge logistics creates a connection between the two continents through the combined use of sea and rail transport, delivering environmentally friendly, secure and efficient transportation solutions.
Connecting Asia and Europe by land and sea, the Silk Road is one of the oldest trade routes in the world. Referred to as the land bridge, it combines multiple pathways to create a flexible and reliable transportation solution.
Along the land bridge route, Rhenus transportation services are available as full-container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL) or freight consolidation solutions. Dedicated space and increased flexibility are offered through FCL, while LCL and consolidation via inland hubs in China and Europe represent a particularly cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice for smaller shipments. Transportation lead times vary by direction, with westbound transit averaging 11 to 22 days and eastbound transit ranging from 11 to 24 days. Daily tracking updates maintain transparency and reliability throughout the movement of your goods. The container equipment most commonly used includes 40-foot-high cube and 20-foot containers, although special equipment can also be provided upon request.
As an alternative to sea transport, land bridge logistics enables faster transportation.
With various locations available for container pickup and drop-off, rail transport delivers a high level of flexibility by adapting quickly to changing requirements.
Compared to air freight, land bridge transport is a more cost-effective option and delivers faster transit times than sea freight.
Land bridge transportation is especially reliable thanks to multiple route options.
For efficient and reliable transportation along the Silk Road, our international experts are ready to create your logistics solution.
The movement of goods between Europe and Asia along the New Silk Road is known as land bridge transport. This transportation method is mainly land-based but also allows intermodal solutions combining sea and land transport.
By combining rail and sea transport, the New Silk Road brings together the advantages of both transportation modes. In comparison with transport solutions based solely on sea transport, the land bridge provides greater speed, flexibility and reliability. At the same time, it serves as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to air freight.
Access to China, the CIS countries and Europe is provided through the New Silk Road.
Security in land bridge transportation is maintained through strict protocols that include secure cargo handling and continuous monitoring at every stage of the transportation process. When needed, we also provide special seals and motion detector tracking devices to increase security.
