The service connects to all major cities in China via transshipment.  An Eastbound Poland to Chengdu service will be available in September from Euroconsol.  A significant benefit of rail compared to ocean transport is speed.  The rail route from Southwest China is approximately 15 days shorter to Poland. The service is in collaboration with iCargo Alliance and Eurasia International Group.  Chengdu International Railway Service Co Ltd. manages the intercontinental rail network running between Asia and Europe.  Founded in 2012, the iCargo Alliance is a global NVOCC network of top brands in their respective countries.  It was founded by C P World Group and Fan Cheng International Transportation Services Co, Ltd.
