Rail transport

RAIL TRANSPORT IS A SAFE AND FAST ALTERNATIVE TO MARITIME TRANSPORT

ACE Logistics has provided rail transport from China for many years now. The service is gaining more and more popularity and helps our customers transport their goods rather fast with lower costs.

Delivering goods from China by rail has certain advantages over sea transport:

• Faster Transit Times for Inland Destinations: Rail transport is generally faster for transporting goods to inland destinations, especially when the origin or destination is far from a seaport.
• Lower Environmental Impact: Rail transport is considered more environmentally friendly. Trains produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions per tonne-kilometer of cargo transported compared to cargo ships.
• Predictable Scheduling and Reliability: Rail transport often offers more predictable scheduling and reliability compared to sea transport, which can be subject to weather conditions, port congestion, and other external factors. Trains operate on fixed schedules and dedicated tracks, which can lead to better adherence to delivery timelines.

We offer a consolidated service with weekly departures from China, which has the advantage of fast delivery time. The container arrives at our Vilnius terminal without reloading. 

Rail transport is a good solution when both the delivery time and the price of transport are important.

In addition to the rail transport service, ACE Logistics, in cooperation with its extensive network of Chinese partners, offers a complete consignment handling solution from local transport and customs clearance to cargo insurance and warehousing both in China and in destination country.
