Bahnoperator has started connecting the Associated British Ports' harbour in Hull with Xi'an via the Baltic Sea Bridge, a sea shipping service between Mukran and Kaliningrad.
As of 31 January 2022, the Swedish arm of the German TX Logistik runs a block train between the Port of Trelleborg and the intermodal terminal in Eskilstuna.
The new route connects Xi'an with Mannheim, with trains crossing the border in Manzhouli-Zabaykalsk towards the Port of St. Petersburg, where the load boards a ship for transhipment in Mukran and final delivery by rail.
The Austrian rail freight haulier has combined two services, TransFER Linz-Scandinavia-Wels and TransFER Linz-Duisburg-Wels, adding the Rheinkamp-Malmö wagonload link.
The company has taken over the Zabaykalsk International Terminal on the Russian-Chinese border, which will be modernised and combined with the company's facility already operating there.
