Global Railway to Germany logistics freight forwarders
"Global Railway to Germany Logistics Freight Forwarders" refers to specialized logistics services that facilitate the transportation of goods via rail networks to Germany from various locations around the world. These services are provided by freight forwarders who possess expertise in managing complex international rail shipments, ensuring efficient and reliable transportation of goods.
Overview
The accuracy and continuity of railroad transportation are very strong. Railway transportation is hardly affected by the climate and can operate regularly and accurately all year round. Large transportation volume. Generally, railway trains can transport 3000–5000 tons of goods, which is much more than automobile transportation or air transportation.
Introduction
Rail shipping is often considered a middle ground between ocean and air freight. It allows you to ship a large consignment of cargo at a relatively lower price compared to ocean freight. Additionally, rail shipping can reduce the shipping time compared to ocean freight. Rail freight can transport virtually anything, including bulk cargo, liquid cargo, dry cargo, and heavy machinery.
Key features of these services include:
-
Intermodal Transport Solutions: Combining rail transport with other modes, such as sea or road, to ensure seamless end-to-end delivery. This is particularly important for goods arriving from regions without direct rail links to Germany.
-
Customs Clearance and Documentation: Managing all necessary customs procedures and documentation for cross-border rail transportation, which can be particularly complex due to the transit through multiple countries.
-
Route Optimization: Selecting the most efficient and timely rail routes, which may involve navigating different rail gauges and systems in various countries.
-
Cargo Handling and Safety: Ensuring the safe loading, unloading, and securing of cargo for the rail journey, as well as managing any specific requirements for sensitive or hazardous materials.
-
Real-time Tracking and Updates: Offering tracking systems for real-time visibility of the cargo's location and status throughout its journey.
-
Cost-Efficiency: Rail freight is often more economical than air freight for large or heavy shipments, making it a cost-effective option for bulk goods.
-
Environmental Friendliness: Rail transport is generally more environmentally sustainable compared to air or road transport, aligning with the increasing demand for green logistics solutions.
-
Expertise in Local and International Regulations: Navigating the complexities of international rail transport regulations and ensuring compliance with both origin and destination country requirements.
Characteristics of Global Railway Transportation
- Railway transportation is accurate, reliable, and continuous all year round, regardless of weather conditions.
- Railway trains can transport a large volume of goods, ranging from 3000-5000 tons, which is much higher than automobiles and air transportation.
- Railway freight transport is fast, with speeds reaching hundreds of kilometers day and night, and general freight transport can reach about 100 km/h, much faster than maritime transport.
- Railway transportation is safe and reliable, with much lower risks than sea transportation.
- Railway transportation is cost-effective, with costs about half to one-tenth those of automobile transportation and fuel consumption about one-twentieth that of automobile transportation.
How many different types of global railway transportation exist?
- Complete vehicle freight transportation: This is a form of transportation where multiple vehicles are loaded separately based on the weight, volume, or shape of a consignment note. It's one of the main types of railway freight transportation due to its low cost, fast speed, and high volume.
- Less-than-carload cargo transportation: This is a way to transport a batch of goods that does not require an entire truck due to its weight or volume. The global freight association defines less-than-carload goods as weighing less than 5000 kg. For goods weighing more than 1 ton with a volume of 2 cubic meters or a length of more than 5 meters, they are transported in whole vehicles and referred to as lump goods. Sporadic goods, including 1-ton containers, are transported using carpooling, LCL (less than container load), luggage, parcel transportation, or one-stop direct to whole units.
- Large tonnage container: This refers to the transportation of cargo or an empty large tonnage container using a large tonnage container.
Precautions for Global Railways to Germany
- Check the container's condition before loading and notify our company immediately of any issues.
- Observe weight limits for global railway intermodal transport. Different cars may have different weight limits, so please consult us separately.
- Avoid eccentric loading by centering the goods and keeping the deviation from the center of the intersection line at the bottom of the box from exceeding 10 cm.
- Properly reinforce the goods in the box to prevent movement or overturning of vehicles when turning.
Precautions about Global Railway to Germany
Check the condition of the container: Before loading, please carefully check whether the container is suitable for the goods, and whether it is polluted, damaged, worn or leaked. In case of such problems, you can refuse to load and immediately notify our company to replace or repair the container.
Overload is not allowed: the cargo weight limit stipulated by global railway intermodal transport is 21.5 tons/20 '; 26.5 tons/40 '; There are many kinds of weight limits for the car, please consult us separately.
No eccentric load: eccentric load affects railway loading operation and seriously affects traffic safety. It requires that the center of gravity of goods must be in the middle, and the deviation from the center of the intersection line at the bottom of the box shall not exceed 10 cm, to load evenly.
Good reinforcement of goods: poor reinforcement of goods in the box will lead to movement of goods or even overturning of vehicles when turning, and seriously affect the safety of goods.
