The first rail shuttle between China and the Netherlands is in full-fledged operation, according to the Port of Rotterdam. The service was launched by the Chinese rail operator CDiRS in June this year, and now the Chengdu-Tilburg-Rotterdam-Express is run on a weekly basis. CDiRS and its Dutch partner, RailPortbrabant, part of the GVT Group, plan to enhance the service to a five-times-a-week operation as of late next year.
The Chengdu-Tilburg-Rotterdam-Express reaches its destination in 15 days and crosses Kazakhstan and Moscow. The service offers railway connections to Chinese cities, such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Wuhan, Yiwu, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Nanning and Kunming, as well as to Vietnam and South Korea.
