New Rail Connections between Asia and Europe

News

Do your shipments have to be delivered more urgently? Hellmann offers you shorter lead times in comparison to seafreight as well as a cost saving alternative to airfreight for your apparel shipments from Asia to Europe by using rail. We already connect China to Europe with a lead time of approx. 14 - 18 days.

New Connections through Multimodal Solutions

We are now also capable to connect countries like Korea (Busan, Incheon), Japan (Yokohama, Tokyo), Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City) and Taiwan (Taipei, Taichung) with a multimodal service (sea + rail) or (truck + rail), and the lead time is approx. door to door 27 – 32 days.

For example ex Korea, Taiwan, Japan --> Sea + Rail

From Vietnam --> Truck + Rail / Sea + Rail / Rail + Rail

You also have the possibility to:

  • Busan, Korea --> Sea + Rail
  • Incheon, Korea --> Sea + Rail
  • Yokohama, Japan --> Sea + Rail
  • Tokyo, Japan --> Sea + Rail
  • Hanoi, Vietnam --> Truck + Rail / Sea + Rail / Rail + Rail
  • Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam --> Truck + Rail / Sea + Rail / Rail + Rail
  • Taipei, Taiwan --> Sea + Rail
  • Taichung, Taiwan --> Sea + Rail
 
Multimodal Solutions - the cost-saving alternative to air freight for your textile shipments.
