Landbridge logistics: The Silk Road rail link

The landbridge connects China, Russia, CIS and Europe by rail and follows one of the oldest trading routes in history.

Rhenus designs and manages overland rail supply chains along this route. With our presence in every country along the New Silk Road, we ensure your cargo is in capable hands.

When to choose our landbridge service

The landbridge service is a viable alternative or addition to our air and ocean services. When ocean transport takes too much time and airfreight is too expensive, rail is what you are looking for.

Rhenus serves not only China and Europe. We have extensive rail experience in Russia and the CIS countries through our intermodal service. In addition, via China, the landbridge can reach several South East Asian countries. Rhenus ensures reliable transit times and fixed departure schedules.
