Regarding the transportation of goods between Asia and Europe, there are multiple options available. Land bridge solutions link the two continents, providing environmentally friendly, efficient and reliable options by integrating sea and rail transport.
Rhenus land bridge transportation is available as a full-container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL) or by means of freight consolidation along this corridor. FCL offers dedicated capacity with greater adaptability, while LCL or consolidation via inland hubs in China and Europe presents a rather cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solution for smaller shipments. Lead times differ depending on the selected transport mode: Westbound transit averages between 11 to 22 days, while eastbound shipments take between 11 to 24 days. Daily tracking updates provide transparency and dependability throughout the transportation of your goods. The most used container equipment includes 40' high cube and 20' containers, although special equipment is available upon request if needed.

Various route alternatives contribute to making land bridge transport especially reliable.
Our international experts are ready to design 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 mainly conducted over land, it also includes intermodal solutions that combine sea and land transport options.
The new Silk Road brings together the benefits of rail and sea transport. In contrast to transport solutions that rely solely on sea routes, using the land bridge is characterized by higher speed, greater adaptability and increased reliability. It also represents 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 through the application of stringent procedures, including secure handling and monitoring of cargo at every stage. If necessary, we also provide special seals and motion detector tracking devices for enhanced security.
