For the transportation of 20-foot containers, a second container (pair) is required. If you do not have cargo for a second 20-foot container, this possibility is excluded. Also, not all railway stations in China accept 20-foot containers for shipment, even in pairs. In particular, the Xi'an station does not accept this type of container for transportation, but the Urumqi station does. Please contact our company via any of the communication channels, and we will help you find a solution to this task.

In Azerbaijan, the container train arrives at the railway terminal Apsheron.

Yes, we insure cargo upon request from the customer. Cargo insurance costs are not included in the cost of cargo forwarding and must be paid separately. Calculation formula: $X*1.1*0.002=$Y, where "X" is the cost of the goods, and "Y" is the cost of the insurance policy. Insurance coverage: Land transportation insurance. Deductible: 10000 RMB or 10% of the loss amount, whichever is higher. Naked cargo, excluding responsibility for scratches, rust, and oxidation (surface scratches, rust, and oxidation are not covered by insurance, except for individual glass breakage responsibility). Recommendation. Insure your cargo if: - no certainty about packaging - cargo is very fragile - goods integrity is critical

No, these costs are significantly lower than THC at the port. Costs at the railway terminal will be up to $100, equivalent in lari. Basically, these are lifting on/off containers in terminals, and storage. Storage to 3 days of free storage from the date the container arrives at the terminal. This payment will not be made to our company but to the railway terminal for their services.

The actual verified transit time from Xi'an Station, China to Poti Railway Terminal, Georgia is up to 20 days. You can see the example of a railway bill of lading (SMGS/СМГС consignment note) in which we kindly noted the "departure" and "destination" station, as well as the dates of departure and arrival of the container with cargo. However, we always ask you to consider a transit time of 25-30 days, so that your impressions of our service will not be spoiled if the train along the route is delayed due to natural conditions or technical reasons at one of the key transshipment points, between China and Kazakhstan, or in the ports of the Caspian Sea. Note: you need to know that the transportation period is calculated from the day the train began to move from the loading station in China, and not from the moment the goods arrived at the warehouse.

The container train arrives at the railway terminal "GR Logistics and Terminals Container Terminal" in Poti or Tbilisi, depending on your choice. For example, in Tbilisi the terminal has the following location and contact numbers: GR Logistics and Terminals Container Terminal, Tbilisi, Isani-Samgori District, Kakheti Highway 3. ZIP 0190. Contact tel.: +995 32 2149907, +995 32 2149905, +995 32 2199119

We work with all provinces of China when sending goods by rail to achieve the fastest transit times and favorable prices, taking into account all the components: the cost of renting a container, domestic transportation in China, and the cost of freight. However, for now Xi`an railway station has priority over the others.

We can arrange delivery of your cargo across China to any agreed railway station of departure. To make it quicker and clearer for you to calculate these additional costs for domestic transportation in China, using the Xi'an station as an example, you can follow the following formula: X (distance from the city where is your cargo located in China -> to Xi'an) * coefficient 1.2 = Y, the cost of local transportation in China. The calculation is valid for the delivery of a 40HC container with a loading weight of no more than 26 tons. For specific example, from Qingdao to Xi'an ~1200 km.1200 x 1.2 = $1440 - this is the cost of local transportation from Qingdao to Xi'an for a 40-foot loaded container. This cost must be added to international shipping, for example, Xi`an-Poti, to find out the cost of delivering your cargo on EXW terms from your supplier's factory to the customs railway terminal of the destination country.

Terms of payment - prepayment when the cargo is in China. These conditions cannot be questioned or changed, since similar conditions are dictated to us by the Chinese Railways.

Let's consider an example. For instance, our train for export departs from Xi'an station, so your cargo will need to be delivered to Xi'an. However, previously you had agreed with your supplier to the delivery of your cargo under terms such as, for instance, FOB Qingdao port. We must say right away, almost always, your cargo won't be located at the port, and the specific seaport is indicated as the closest one to the factory/warehouse. Thus, it's always possible to try to change the delivery terms from FOB Qingdao to FOB Xi'an with your supplier. But even if the distance from the supplier's warehouse to the port is significantly less than to the railway station, at the very least, you have the right to request compensation for part of the internal transportation costs within China, since your supplier has included some amount of expenses for organization: "take an empty container at the port -> deliver it to their warehouse -> load the container -> return the loaded container to the port -> pay THC at the port of loading and other port charges". This is undoubtedly not just "100 dollars". Thus, you can always count on full or partial compensation for the internal transportation within China from your supplier's warehouse to the railway station, if previously you had cargo delivery terms of FOB "Seaport".

We do not deliver groupage cargo at the moment. Follow our company news on FB and Instagram to stay up to date with current offers.

The estimated delivery time of cargo from China to Georgia is 20-25 days. Note: you need to know that the transportation period is calculated from the day the train began to move from the loading station in China, and not from the moment the goods arrived at the warehouse.

Yes, we deliver any cars by railway, including electric and combined cars. The main thing is that the car can be placed in a container due to its dimensions.

The service costs for rail freight transportation along the pivotal Middle Corridor are determined by the following three key factors, each contributing significantly to both efficiency and dependability: Container Ownership: The decision to rent or own containers for cargo transport is crucial. We opt for using our containers in operations, ensuring greater control, and reliability in managing freight and reducing transportation costs. Direct Route Engagement: Our approach emphasizes direct cooperation with all stakeholders along the transit route, thereby eliminating the need for intermediaries. This is achieved through direct agreements with all key participants of this international corridor, including rail networks and logistic platforms, especially in strategic locations such as China. This streamlined coordination leads to more efficient and cost-effective operations. Strategic Partnerships and Agreements: Our active engagement and foundational role in the Middle Corridor's development yield significant advantages through strategic partnerships and the use of intergovernmental agreements. We are supported by the IGC TRACECA and benefit from preferential rates offered by the Middle Corridor Association, as well as partnerships with China Railway Container Transport, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy Express (KTZE), the Azerbaijani Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO), ADY Container, GR Logistics & Terminals, among others. These collaborations underscore our constant effort to promote and develop the Trans-Caspian Transport Route through long-term cooperation, freight forwarding, and optimization of performance indicators. In leveraging these strategies—container ownership, direct engagement with logistic partners, and maximizing intergovernmental and organizational support—we enhance the Middle Corridor's logistical offerings. Our dedication to innovation and excellence in logistics ensures our clients receive the optimal competitive cost of service, reinforcing our position in facilitating vital rail freight transportation across this essential route.

Typically a 40 HC container can accommodate 3 standard sedans and/or an SUV. Thus, the cost of transportation can be divided into 3 cars to understand how much it will cost to deliver one unit. However, there are cases when the cars are small and the container can accommodate 4 cars, or, conversely, large ones, such as the Li L9 car, which can only accommodate two units in a container. It should be noted that if you need to load a car into a container, the cost of this service will be $200 per car. This additional service is not included in the cost of transportation.

Usually, a container train from China departs at least once a week. However, keep following our website page for the current schedule and opportunities.
