UNITEX (China) introduces New Wuhan–Duisburg Railway LCL Service
UNITEX, your Pangea partner in China, has recently introduced their new Wuhan-Duisburg railway LCL service, further expanding their capabilities and offering customers a cost-effective and efficient rail transport solution between China and Europe. Committed to the “customer first” service concept, UNITEX is a trustworthy and reliable international logistics service provider with 28 years of establishment and 12 branches and offices across the country.
According to UNITEX, the Wuhan–Duisburg railway LCL service is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, especially for high-value-added products, when compared with sea and air freight. Customers opting for the Wuhan–Duisburg railway LCL (less than container load) service can benefit from several advantages:
Time efficiency advantage: From Wuhan to Duisburg, ocean freight usually takes 45-50 days or more, while rail transport only requires 18-20 days, significantly reducing time costs and cutting transportation time by more than half. For SMEs, this means faster supply delivery and improved capital turnover.
Cost advantage: Compared to air freight, rail transport expenses only about 1/10, offering excellent value for money. Moreover, LCL rail costs are 30%-50% lower than FCL, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized shipments. Although the overall cost is twice that of ocean freight, the timeliness of sea shipping is more uncertain.
Stability advantage: Compared to ocean and air freight, rail transport is less affected by weather and other natural factors, offering higher transportation stability and better cargo security. Moreover, the dedicated line operates on relatively fixed schedules, better ensuring transportation stability and timeliness.
Customs clearance advantage: The China Railway Express adopts a “single declaration, single inspection, single release” customs clearance model, simplifying procedures and greatly improving clearance efficiency.
Low-carbon advantage: Compared to ocean and air freight, rail transport generates lower carbon emissions, better aligning with sustainable development concepts. Against the global backdrop of advocating green development, the environmental advantages of the China-Europe Railway Express are becoming increasingly prominent.
To guarantee the professionalism and dependability of domestic customs declaration, loading, and other procedures, it is crucial to choose a logistics service provider with substantial operating expertise while using the China Railway Express service. Furthermore, the service provider should have a network capable of handling customs clearance at the European destination port to ensure that commodities are delivered smoothly. UNITEX INTERNATIONAL FORWARDING LTD. specializes in high-quality logistics and provides the best logistics solutions.
