Eastbound Westbound
In the 1. half 2020 the container cargo volume on the Trans-Siberian Railway reached 223,000 TEU, an increase by 65% (year-on-year) in the 2-way throughput (21% Eastbound and 44% Westbound).
In the 1.half 2020 the freight transport on the Trans-Siberian Railway has been bucking the pandemic–caused falling trendof air and ocean cargo volumes by double-digit growth in both directions due to its lower susceptibility to interference.
As an answer to continuous congestions at the land-based EU entry points GETO Membersimplemented a unique intermodal project. The short sea links connect Russian and German sea ports.
This integral part of the New Silk Road is more time-efficient for transports between Asia and Europe.
