A new multimodal (rail-sea) service is up & running, connecting Xi'an with Mannheim through the Caspian and Black seas and Central Europe.
The first train set, loaded with apparel, sporting articles and other goods, left China on 13 April 2022, crossing on its way Khorgos.
The load will be transshipped in Aktau for sea delivery to Baku, where the containers will board a train for another transloading in Poti, from which the ship will carry them to Constanța.
A train will be formed in Romania, heading to Mannheim via Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia.
