Rail Services

THE NETWORK

The Trans-Siberian railway connects China and Europe with a wide-gauge system that extends over 9,500 km across Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. In China and Europe, the wide-to-narrow gauge transfer is done in the specially-equipped terminals of Brest (Belarus) or Malaszewicze (Poland), for the northern route, and at Chop (Ukraine), Dobra (Slovakia) or Zahony (Hungary) for the southern route.

In the Far East, the main interchange points are Zabaikalsk (Russia) and Manzhouli (China); 90% of our consignments are handled there. Then, our southern route is used, via Dostyk (Kazakhstan) and Alashankou (China), which serves trains from Chongqing.

The area served in China extends from Manzhouli to Changchun, Shenyang, Dalian, Yingkou, Tianjin/Beijing, Qingdao and Shanghai / Suzhou (in north - eastern China) and Chongqing and Chengdu (located in the central - southern area of the country).

In South Korea, we serve the areas of Pusan and Incheon, using short connections by sea. Thanks to reduced transit time, our service becomes advantageous also for all the central and southern zones of China, covering all the main industrial districts.

Why choose this service?

THERE ARE MANY ADVANTAGES:

• Transit times (3 weeks instead of 6 by sea);

• Substantial savings with respect to air freight;

• Shorter booking / supply chain / lead-times;

• Better respect for the environment;

• Use of 40ft HC COC and 40ft DV containers;

• Daily tracking;

• Door-to-door service;

• Frequent departures. 

THE ENVIRONMENT

Rail transport contributes to significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions and is thus one of the most environmentally-friendly transport modes. Railways also contribute to reducing serious congestion affecting the ports  

SAFETY

Because our service is used mainly for urgent cargo, reliability and safety are essential requirements.

DeChuan can guarantee all this due to our many safety measures, which are an integral part of our transport process.

What makes our service so safe?

• Daily tracking;

• At-terminal surveillance;

• Escort service that accompanies the trains in the territory of the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States);

• RFID monitoring;

• GPS devices available on request for high-value goods.

Our containers can pass along the wide-gauge section (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine) with minimal interruptions, customs controls, and deviations - issues that had previously made the land route impractical. Our customers can also monitor their containers along the entire route, as their location is electronically controlled at 37 points (RFID monitoring).

DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE

In recent years, DeChuan has gained experience and broadened its services by extending them to road transport (in containers and bulk products), to short sea shipping, on-site services (customs clearance, unloading) and to heavy-loads handling.
