The New Silk Road

The duisport–China rail connection:
Faster than by ship, considerably cheaper than air transport

Zoom

Unlike any other region in Europe, duisport is connected to the major commercial centers in Asia by rail. Approximately 60 freight trains arrive here each week, which are then either further transported to domestic seaports or to neighboring European countries.

As a complement to air and sea freight, the rail connection opens up a third way: With travel times from Duisburg to the main hubs in China currently between 12–18 days, this connection is faster than by ship and at the same time significantly cheaper than transporting freight by air.
