Introduction:Chengdu,the capital city of Sichuan Province, is located in the western part of China. It used to take a very long time (more than 45 days) for export cargo originated in West China to reach Europe through the traditional transportation route which combines using feeder vessels on Yangtze River and reloading on mother vessels from Shanghai. In 2013, Chengdu launched the first cargo block train to Europe. By 2016, Chengdu has already three departures to Europe per week.Service Advantages:1.Lower freight costs than airfreight. Up to 60% can be saved compared to airfreight charges.2. Shorter transit time than seafreight.10-12 days to Lodz,Poland.12-14 days to Nuremberg,Germany. Up to 30 days is saved compared with shipping by sea from Chengdu.3. Great safety.
