Trial trains en route between Europe and China
Russian multimodal operator RZD Logistics is expanding the options for the transit of sanctioned goods from Europe through Russia to China. To this end, the company is testing transport services along the northern route through Zabaikalsk at the Russian-Chinese border.
On 13 and 14 May, two 40-foot containers with powdered whey for the production of baby food left for China.
The first container was delivered to the train in Malaszewicze (Poland) from Duisburg (Germany) and will go on to Changchun (China), and the second container was loaded onto a truck at the production site of the Danish company Thise Mejeri in Estonia and sent to Malaszewicze, from where it will continue by rail to Harbin (China). Both trains with sanctioned cargo will cross the border through the border crossing in Zabaikalsk. (ben)
