The railway once again demonstrates its leadership on the China-Europe route

28.11.2025

Amid delays on sea and road routes, rail freight is once again becoming the fastest and most reliable method of shipping from China to Europe

The transit time for a 40HQ container to Poland is currently around 14 days — the best in recent years, according to AsstrA-Associated Traffic AG.

The company provides a full range of rail logistics services, including cargo insurance, customs clearance, and full tracking at all stages. Electronics, auto parts, industrial equipment, and seasonal goods, including Christmas products, are most often shipped via this route.

«We are seeing a market recovery, and rail is once again proving its effectiveness. A 14-day transit time from China to Poland is an indicator of the stability and smooth operation of the entire supply chain. Now is the perfect time to plan holiday shipments, check rates, and book space,» emphasized Irina Topalova, Head of China Rail Europe at AsstrA. Key advantages include cost-effectiveness for large volumes, low environmental impact, reliability regardless of season, high safety, and the ability to transport heavy and oversized cargo.
