The China-Europe freight trains offer a lifeline during the Pandemic
During the pandemic, rail freight along the New Silk Road proved to be efficient at keeping supply chains running. أسعار الشحن الجوي In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the fifth European Silk Road Summit commenced on Tuesday with over 300 rail freight professionals in attendance to discuss the latest developments and challenges along the New Silk Road as well as the role of China-Europe rail freight in COVID-19.

It appears that the pandemic had no effect on the rail container traffic along the China-Europe route via Russia this year. As of September 2021, the number of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) had increased by 47 percent year over year, reaching 568700.

The rail transport industry has achieved record-breaking results and developed a reputation for reliability and resilience. This route has seen its container traffic increase 79 times in the last year.

A freight train service linking southwest China with Europe has operated more than 40000 trips since the first train left Chongqing in March 2011.

Over the past few years, countries along the international freight route have shown growing interest in upgrading logistics chains to speed up post-pandemic recovery.

The Minister for Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade of Finland, Ville Skinnari, pointed out that rail freight has a clear sustainability advantage over other modes of transport because of its lower carbon emissions.

To a company, diversifying their logistics chains, adding value with speed and having alternative transportation methods are important. Especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are more aware of the logistical chain risk, Skinnari said.

Tens of thousands of tonnes of medical supplies were shipped along the route, with special trains carrying surgical masks, medical gloves, bags and dispensers of contactless gel to multiple countries during the pandemic.

A member of Germany's Prussian Society, Volker Tschapke, called the route the Green Passage, pointing out that Europe was reacting rather desperately to the first wave of COVID. (Medical) shortages were seen everywhere. It is vital that train routes be maintained because they are life-saving.
