Rail Freight from China to Europe.
With shifting global trade dynamics, businesses are seeking alternatives to traditional freight corridors that are faster, more resilient, and politically neutral. Rail freight from China to Europe via the Trans-Caspian Route has become a powerful logistics solution for companies looking to bypass congested sea routes or restricted land corridors.
At CargoPoint, we provide seamless China - Europe rail cargo solutions using the new generation of overland routes that offer efficiency, reduced transit times, and geopolitical flexibility. By choosing the Middle Corridor and Trans-Caspian route, you gain a stable, multimodal alternative to the Northern Route and a reliable gateway to Europe.
The Modern Silk Road: Trans-Caspian Route.
The Middle Corridor - also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) - is a strategic land-sea multimodal route that connects China to Europe without transiting Russia. This corridor begins in western China and travels through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, before entering Europe through Bulgaria or Romania.
Here’s how it works:
-
Origin: Trains depart from key Chinese hubs such as Xi’an or Chongqing and travel west through Kazakhstan
-
Caspian Crossing: Cargo is loaded onto ferries at Aktau or Kuryk ports for the sea leg to Baku, Azerbaijan
-
Caucasus Transit: Rail continues from Azerbaijan through Georgia, reaching Turkey via the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars (BTK) railway
-
European Access: From Turkey, goods move via rail or truck into the EU through Bulgaria, Romania, and onward into Central or Western Europe
This route removes dependency on traditional rail routes crossing the territory of Russia, offering a robust alternative for companies navigating geopolitical challenges or sanctions.
