Why Choose Rail Freight?
Intercontinental rail freight has emerged as a strategic choice for shipping goods between China and Europe, offering a compelling middle ground between the slower pace of ocean freight and the high cost of air cargo.
Rail freight is an attractive choice for companies looking to optimize their supply chains without committing to the premium expense of air transport. The service is also noted for its reliability, with predictable schedules that are less susceptible to weather-related delays that can affect ocean routes.
The Asia-Europe rail network, often referred to as the "New Silk Road," provides extensive connectivity between major industrial hubs in China - especially its Northern regions - and key economic centers across Europe. Rail freight is also a more environmentally friendly option than air freight, producing lower carbon emissions.

In Our Customer’s Words:
"What I really like at Cargoplot is that I can see the total price for all the costs... With others, you don't have a total picture. For me, it's very, very important to see what the total price is for the full shipment."
