China–Europe rail adds a direct Duisburg stop

What changed

Our China–Europe rail service from Shenzhen now calls at a direct Duisburg stop, removing the previous transhipment at Mala. End-to-end transit is down from 22 days to 18 days.

How the three modes compare

Mode Transit time Cost level
FCL ocean freight 30–38 days Low
China–Europe rail 18 days Medium
Air freight 3–5 days High

For cargo of moderate value on a tight schedule, rail is becoming the third option.
