New Shandong-Europe Express launched
The new Shandong-Europe express train from Jinan in China arrived in Germany at Hamburg’s Billwerder Terminal for the first time last Thursday (30.4.2020) after a 20 day long journey. The train was loaded with 41 40-foot (feu) filled with wind turbine parts, LEDs, tools and medical supplies.
The freight train is operated by the Shandong Hi-Speed Group as part of their Qilu Europe-Asia freight traffic service. Currently, the train only operates from China to Europe. The next departures from Jinan are scheduled for 16 and 30 May.
Last year, 204 train connections per week were marketed and run between the port of Hamburg and 20 destinations in China. They transported around 100,000 standard containers. (ben)
