Sea freight is reduced! The conflict between Russia and Ukraine affects the China-Europe train, and logistics companies are anxious! Can the China-Europe
Express retain cargo owners?
Under the epidemic, the China-Europe Railway Express has been playing a very stable and important role in cross-border transportation. However, the
conflict between Russia and Ukraine has affected some routes.
More than 1 million containers were scheduled to be transported via a rail route of more than 6,000 miles. The railway connects Western Europe and
China, passing through Russia. Today, cargo is having to find new shipping routes, increasing costs and potentially exacerbating disruptions in global
supply chains.
More cargo is moving to sea freight, and the recent drop in ocean freight rates has attracted more rail cargo volumes. In order to keep the customers
who are the source of iron goods, there is a trend of lower freight rates. Industry insiders said that in the face of the problem of loss of freight volume,
many China-Europe train platform companies have adjusted their freight rates. Compared with the previous freight rates of block trains, some platform
companies have even reduced the freight rates by more than half.
