The timeliness of China Europe train is becoming normal, and the high-quality service is still trustworthy!

The freight volume of this year's train reached a new high, surpassing that of last year in the first October

As of the first 10 months of this year, the freight volume of China EU trains has exceeded the total freight volume of last year. According to the statistics of China Railway, 12605 trains were operated from January to October, with a carrying capacity of 1.22 million TEUs, an increase of 26% and 33% respectively year-on-year, exceeding the 1.14 million TEUs in 2020.

Another gratifying trend of this year's trains is that the proportion of return trips and new services is increasing. The railway operator pointed out that there were more return trips in the first 10 months than last year, and the inbound service rose to 81% of the outbound service. The proportion of new services accounted for 35% of the overall shift, compared with 20% in the first half of the year.

Previously, due to the shortage of air transport capacity, confusion in the maritime market and port congestion, the railway accommodated too many goods that were more suitable for other modes of transportation. In addition, affected by the strict epidemic prevention and control policy and the limited infrastructure and processing capacity of overseas sections, congestion and delays occur frequently, which has damaged the reputation of the train to a certain extent.

The obvious typical example is the long-term congestion at the main border crossing points and transit hubs between China and Kazakhstan; The Poland Belarus crossing point in the European section and the nearby malasevic station are frequently congested, and the train time limit from China to malasevic was once extended to more than 30 days.

The congestion is reduced and the train efficiency tends to be normal

Recently, we heard that the timeliness of trains has gradually tended to a normal level. The president of a domestic freight forwarding company said that the transportation efficiency of China Europe train is improving. Compared with earlier this year, the border congestion has decreased, and the traffic volume has also decreased relatively.

In this regard, we also interviewed some freight forwarders and asked what they knew.

A freight forwarder said: "judging from the time when we started loading containers in September, the overall delay has indeed been alleviated! Now, I begin to pay attention to whether the wind and snow weather at the time of exit will affect the exit operation of the railway." In addition, the freight forwarder said that they also have alternative solutions to deal with the congestion of frequent sections. He added: "in case of congestion in Mara, we have alternative routes to choose. For example, we can enter Hungary through Ukraine or go straight from the wide rail to swavkuv in Poland."

Another freight forwarder took the service of a train he had recently used as an example. The train started from the atenkori port in Kazakhstan and arrived at Duisburg station in Germany through malasevic. It took 15 days. Judging from the journey of this train, the congestion in the overseas section has been greatly alleviated recently.

So what factors affect the timeliness of the train? From the discussion with freight forwarders, we summarized the following factors: 1 Due to frequent railway congestion and serious delays, customers who previously poured into the railway were diverted again. Some goods have returned to sea and air transport. 2. In order to give priority to the transportation of energy materials such as coal and ensure energy security in winter, China Railway Corporation has regulated the departure plan of the train, reducing the operation pressure of the train.

In the overseas section of the train, the malasevic station, which was previously heavily congested, seems to have returned to normal. We learned from the data of a freight forwarding company that the average delay time of the train staying in malasevic is 3 days, and the longest delay time is 8 days. If the data are true, Mara has again surpassed Kaliningrad, which used to be the most popular alternative route.
