Brunel Project Cargo launch new China rail service between Yiwu and London
BRUNEL Project Cargo, members of Project Cargo Network in the UK, have started a new China rail service between Yiwu in Zhejiang province, China, and London.
The China-Europe container train departing from Yiwu is operated by Yiwu Timex Industrial Investment Co Ltd and has been running the service to Madrid (Spain) via Duisburg (Germany) for over a year, according to American Journal of Transportation.
The first container train to London will depart from Yiwu on the January 1 before returning to Yiwu afterwards. The journey from Yiwu Railway Station to London Barking Railway Station will take 16 days and the rate per FEU high cube is US$4,600. The return journey from London Barking Railway Station to Yiwu Railway Station takes 21 days and the rate per FEU high cube is US$2,500.
"We believe this is going to change the way a lot of forwarders and shippers view their imports and exports for China, particularly with air freight," said Brunel operations chief Mike White. "
"Instead of 30 days from China, there is now a rail option of just 14 days. This is an excellent chance to provide your clients with a new China-UK railway transport solution," he said.
Other benefits include convenient customs clearance with both declarations and inspections completed together leading to quicker release of the cargo. Customs clearance services are also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition, a wide range of cargo is accepted for transportation with door-to-door, FCL and LCL shipments available.
