CEVA Logistics has a new China to Europe railway service. The service connects Suzhou in China with the Netherlands in Europe. The total transit time for the whole journey is approximately 28 days, covering an 11,000 km northern.
This new route follows the successful trial service that CEVA conducted for a customer in the technology sector. The trial shipment arrived earlier than the planned date by five days.
The unique railway service offering by CEVA brought significant cost savings to the customer compared to air freight, as well as shorter transit time of 13-15 days compared to ocean freight.
The flexibility of daily schedules departing from Suzhou makes it an attractive railway service route connecting China and Europe.
For the trial service, the shipment was loaded during China's spring festival travel season, the well-known peak season of rail transportation in the country, and the container went through Europe at extreme cold temperatures as low as -38 degree Celsius.
CEVA not only provided GPS tracking and visibility throughout the journey, it also provided specially insulated packaging materials to protect the products against extreme cold temperatures and, likewise, will provide packing to keep products cool in the container during the hot summer climate.
