<p>The channel China Uncensored seems to be very biased. So I#m very carefully with their information.</p> <p>Just a few comments about the Euro Asia landbridge. Currently there are about 35 weekly trains in each direction between German and Chinese destinations. The numbers are rising.</p> <p>The trains need about 14 to 19 days, only half of a ship's transit times (28 to 35). It is naturally more expensive.</p> <p>According to a German logistic provider the rail transport costs for 16,5 tons or 2118 cubic ft (FEU) are $9,000, by sea $2,400 and air freight $54,000.</p> <p>It is an offer for companies that need shorter transit times than sea transport can provide but don't need the speed of air transport (3-7 days).</p> <p>And there seem to be a market.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
