UTLC ERA JLC and Belintertrans-Germany GmbH open a joint end-to-end regular multimodal service from China to Western Europe
JLC United Transport and Logistics Company - Eurasian Railway Alliance (UTLC ERA JLC) and Belintertrans-Germany GmbH (BIT-Germany) open a joint end-to-end regular multimodal service on the Altynkol - Kaliningrad - Hamburg route.
The purpose of the service is to organize predictable and controlled cargo transportation within the framework of the One Belt and One Road project with a stable transit time in the range of 12-14 days. Service operators (UTLC ERA and BIT-Germany) provide a joint solution for the organization and implementation of the transportation regardless of volume of goods on the China-EU-China route.
The end-to-end multimodal corridor is synchronized within a single technological chain, in which every movement of freighters will correspond to a fixed schedule of the sea line and a vessel chartered for a specific volume of cargo.
UTLC ERA will provide 1520 mm gauge railway transportation from the Altynkol station to the ports of the Kaliningrad region and vice versa.
In turn BIT-Germany will organize a regular sea link between the ports of the Kaliningrad region and the port of Hamburg.
A pilot transport between Chongqing and Hamburg/ Duisburg was successfully operated in August and trains now run weekly on this new route. Several freight forwarders as well as platform companies have already expressed interest in the alternative service and it is planned to extend the frequency to up to two trains per day in October.
