China rail hauls consol box to UK in record time
Following an upgrade to its fixed-day, weekly rail import service for LCL cargoes from China, British forwarder Davies Turner offers scheduled transit times of 22 to 24 days from the Wuhan rail hub in China to the Dartford depot in UK. But last week, a consol box arrived in the record time of just 19 days.
With Davies Turner’s express China rail service, containers are carried by rail from Wuhan directly to Duisburg (Germany). They are then trucked under bond to the port of Rotterdam (Netherlands) and transported by ferry to Purfleet, near Dartford for on-carriage by truck to Davies Turner’s distribution centre, where they are discharged, customs cleared and delivered.
