CADENCIA SIA offers customers a direct rail service from China to Europe and in the opposite direction. This service runs along the Northern railway route with a wide-gauge network of more than 9500 km. When crossing borders, containers are reloaded from European / Chinese standard gauge wagons to broad gauge wagons used in the CIS and Vice versa. In Europe, switching from broad gauge to standard gauge is performed at specially equipped terminals in Malashevichi (Poland) in the North direction and Chop (Ukraine) / Dobra (Slovakia) or Zahony (Hungary) in the South direction. In the far East, the main crossing points are Manzhuli (China) and Dostyk (Kazakhstan) / Alashankou (China), which serves trains from Chongking.

One of the main advantages of this service is a shorter transit time compared to sea transportation. The average transit time for single shipments is 21 days, and for shipments in block trains it is about 14-16 days. Based on this service, CADENCIA SIA offers services for sending full container loads, as well as piece shipments as part of a combined cargo in a container with a similar transit time.  This service is an excellent intermediate alternative between air and sea transport.
