The fast train service to/from China is operated
in partnership with the Chinese State Company ZIH (Zhengzhou
International Hub) which provides
a
regular multi-day service to major European rail Terminals.
The West-Bound routing pass through the northern territory
of China, Mongolia and Russia, before reaching Belarus and
entering
the EU, or
alternatively through the southern route passing through
Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and
finally entering on European territory. The connection to the
Milan Terminal pass through Hamburg-Liege Terminals or alternatively
Hamburg-Munich. Containers arriving in Milan are picked up by truck
and
conveyed by road to our operational terminal in Cormano.
Here we set
customs
operations and, in
case of LCL/groupage, we proceed to the decontainerization,
introduction
into customs warehouses and possible
distribution of the goods.
Obviously the service is also available for East-Bound service with
reversed
procedures but always through the consolidation in Cormano
terminal.
The
transit time
Zhengzhou-Milan is approx
22
days. The
cost
of the fast train service is on average
estimated at
50% of the
airfreight.
The
reduction in
transit time compared to the traditional seafreight is
also of the same percentage. The pre-carriage and on-carriage service
in China covers the whole territory, with
particular attention to Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen.
Fast train service also provides greater
security
for goods compared to maritime transport, as on one hand the
risk
of damage is reduced due to the
stability with which containers are loaded and the
minimal stress they are subjected during the journey, and on the other
hand
the possibility of theft is considerably lowered thanks to the very
brief stops at the intermediate Terminals. Finally, trains are equipped
with advanced security devices which
allow real-time tracking of shipments, providing regular updates on
the status and location of goods throughout the entire route.
