Westbound railservice ex Chengdu

This is to inform you that our Chinese partners, despite the escalating conflict between Russia and Belarus on the one hand, and Ukraine on the other, advised us that under the present circumstances the service is up and running.

They furthermore told us that in case of new developments which might affect schedule’s reliability (further escalations and/or sanctions) operators will do their utmost to keep the impact as small as possible and alternative transshipment plans will be installed when deemed necessary.

Viewing the current situation, we strongly recommend shippers/receivers to arrange the necessary insurance or, just for the safety of their merchandise, reconsider moving their shipments all-water, in spite of a potentially longer transit-time.

Please keep in touch with our Import Nomination Desk, responsible for our import rail service ex. China.
