Our Rail Freight Services

From single container bookings to block train operations, we offer rail freight solutions scaled to every shipment size — with intermodal connections that extend your reach beyond the rail network itself.

Block Train

Block Train Services

A dedicated train of containers or wagons moving directly between origin and destination terminals — no marshalling, no delays. Ideal for large-volume shippers requiring guaranteed capacity and maximum transit predictability across long-haul corridors.

Best for high-volume, fixed-lane shippers
Intermodal

Intermodal Container Rail

Move standard ISO containers seamlessly across rail, road, and sea — using a single booking and a single bill of lading. Our intermodal coordination handles all terminal transfers, drayage, and mode switches so the transition is invisible to you.

20ft, 40ft & 45ft containers
Groupage

Rail Groupage (LCL)

For shipments that don't fill a full container, we consolidate your cargo with other consignments into shared rail containers — giving you access to major rail corridors at a fraction of the full container cost, with regular weekly departures.

Weekly consolidated departures
Project

Project & Heavy Cargo by Rail

Rail offers unique advantages for project cargo — flat wagons, depressed-centre wagons, and bolster wagons accommodate oversized and heavy-lift freight that can't travel by road. We manage route approvals, gauge checks, and loading engineering.

Machinery, transformers & structural steel

Key Rail Corridors We Operate

Our rail freight operations span the world's most strategic overland trade corridors — combining high-frequency departures, established cross-border protocols, and last-mile road connections at every terminal.

  • China — Europe (Trans-Siberian & New Silk Road)
  • Europe — Middle East (Turkey gateway corridor)
  • Intra-European rail network (EU single rail area)
  • Central Asia — Russia & CIS countries
  • North America — transcontinental rail (US & Canada)
  • Africa — South-North rail corridor connections
Our rail operations team manages every terminal touchpoint — from wagon loading to final depot release.

How It Works

From origin terminal to destination depot, our end-to-end rail management ensures your cargo moves on schedule — with full documentation, border crossing support, and real-time tracking at every stage.

1

Request a Quote

Provide your origin and destination terminals, cargo type, weight, and volume. We respond with a competitive all-in rate covering rail haulage, terminal handling, and inland transport connections.

2

Booking & Documentation

We confirm wagon allocation or container slots and prepare all rail consignment notes (CIM/SMGS), customs transit declarations, and cross-border permits required for each country of transit.

3

Collection & Terminal Loading

Road drayage collects your cargo from the origin premises and delivers it to the departure terminal. Our team oversees container stuffing or wagon loading, lashing, and sealing before handover to the rail operator.

4

Real-Time Rail Tracking

Track your wagons or containers across every segment of the rail journey — including border crossings and gauge change stops — through our live tracking portal with automated milestone notifications.

5

Terminal Release & Last-Mile Delivery

On arrival at the destination terminal, we manage customs clearance and cargo release. Road transport then completes the final mile to your warehouse, factory, or distribution centre.

Cargo Types We Move by Rail

Rail freight accommodates a vast range of commodity types — from standard containerised goods to bulk materials and oversized project cargo requiring specialist wagon types.

Consumer Goods
Containerised retail & e-commerce
Automotive Parts
JIT supply chain, CKD shipments
Grain · Coal · Minerals
Bulk Commodities
Grain, coal, minerals & aggregates
Industrial Machinery
Flat wagon & heavy-lift solutions

Why Choose Our Rail Freight

Rail isn't just an alternative — for the right lane and cargo type, it's the optimal choice. Here's why shippers increasingly move their long-haul volumes to rail with us.

🌿

Up to 75% Lower Carbon Emissions

Rail produces a fraction of the CO₂ per tonne-kilometre compared to road or air. Our green freight certificates let you quantify, report, and communicate your sustainability progress to stakeholders.

🗓️

Fixed Schedules & Reliable Capacity

Unlike road or air, rail operates on fixed timetables with pre-allocated capacity. Once your slot is booked, it's yours — no bumping, no overbooking, no last-minute availability issues.

💰

Cost-Competitive for Long-Haul Lanes

For distances over 1,000km, rail consistently undercuts road on a cost-per-tonne basis while delivering faster transit than ocean — the commercial sweet spot for intercontinental land freight.

📋

Cross-Border Documentation Expertise

Rail across multiple countries involves CIM, SMGS, and TIR documentation, gauge changes, and multiple customs regimes. Our specialists manage every border transition smoothly and without delays.

📡

Wagon-Level Shipment Tracking

Track your cargo wagon by wagon through our portal — with live position updates, border crossing notifications, and ETA recalculations based on actual train progress along the route.

🔗

Seamless Intermodal Connections

We connect every rail journey to road and ocean legs through a single booking — handling terminal transfers, drayage, and multimodal documentation end to end.

"Switching our China–Europe volumes to rail cut our transit time by 12 days versus ocean and reduced our freight carbon footprint by over 60%. The documentation handling across seven countries was seamless."
— Supply Chain Director, International Manufacturing Group
