Fast China – UK link launched
DHL Global Forwarding has launched a new rail-sea freight solution that will link businesses in China with UK, and vice versa, in 18 to 20 days. Compared to ocean freight that would typically take 40 days, the new service cuts transit time by more than half.
Consolidating goods from across China at DHL's hub at Xi'an, China, the new service will transport the cargo by rail to Kaliningrad, Russia, via Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. Then the cargo will be shipped to Immingham by sea, cleared through UK import customs and finally delivered to the consignees.
The service has been jointly developed by DHL Global Forwarding China, Xi'an International Inland Port Investment & Development Group, RZD Logistics and RTSB. (ben)
