Advantages of Rail transport

Compared to sea freight and air freight, when available rail transport is a reliable and greener shipping solution that reduces your costs as well as your CO2 emissions. Your shipments count with consistent transit times and higher predictability due to fix railway timetables. Shipping times compared to air are longer, but the costs are lower. Rail transport offers the highest levels of security for your goods. Customs controls are fast, and handlers at major hubs are highly efficient, meaning goods are cleared in a matter of hours.
