The China-Europe Freight Train transport service in Shanghai has resumed its export business on the express line, after the metropolis eased COVID-19 measures that were put in place against a new wave of coronavirus infections.
Carrying 49 containers of mechanical equipment, one train departed Shanghai for Rostov Oblast in Russia. The journey will take 15 to 17 days. As Shanghai prepares for full work resumption, the express line will increase the frequency of trains up to four runs per month seen during before the epidemic.
The head of the PTC Holding group of companies announced his intention to open a branch in China. According to him, this will allow the Kazakh company to work directly with shippers from China, using the capabilities of the transshipment terminal at the Dostyk station.
Cargo transportation by sea, road and rail in Russia will recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2022, analysts of the NKR predict. Passenger air transportation will return to these indicators only in 2024.
