✅ Weekly Logistics Round-up 🌍✈️🚛🚢 🌐 Global Logistics Update: August Week 1 As the world’s supply chains continue to adapt and innovate, here are some key updates in transport and logistics that you should be aware of this week: 🔹 China Expands Visa-Free Transit to 10 Days In a major move to boost international business and tourism, China now allows 240-hour visa-free transit for citizens from 55 countries, including the UK. With cross-province travel now permitted during this stay, this creates greater ease for logistics professionals and freight agents transiting through key hubs like Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. 🔹 Ocean Freight Stabilises as Peak Season Looms Freight rates on major East-West lanes are showing signs of recovery, with shippers experiencing more reliable schedules and moderate rate hikes. While capacity remains tight on some lanes, especially Asia-Europe, forecasts indicate that shipping reliability has hit a 3-year high. 🔹 European Roadfreight Holds Firm Amid Cost Pressures Despite inflation and fuel price volatility, roadfreight in Europe is demonstrating remarkable resilience. More carriers are investing in sustainable fleets and digital optimisation tools, keeping the sector agile and competitive. 🔹 Air Cargo Sees Early Signs of Recovery After a sluggish H1, airfreight volumes are slowly picking up—particularly on routes linking China, the Middle East, and Europe. Rising demand for tech and pharma shipments is driving this growth, alongside improved transit options. 📌 These developments show just how interconnected—and adaptive—our industry continues to be. Whether you’re moving cargo by land, air, or sea, staying informed is key to staying ahead. 💬 How are these changes impacting your operations this month? Let's discuss. #Logistics #TransportNews #SupplyChain #FreightForwarding #Roadfreight #Airfreight #Seafreight #ChinaLogistics #GlobalTrade #LinkedInNews #TGLogistics

🚆 On August 7, a China-Europe freight train carrying 55 containers departed from Chengxiang Station of the Chengdu Railway Hub. Exiting China via the Horgos Port, it traveled through Kazakhstan and Russia before arriving at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. With this route, Chengdu’s international rail network now covers 126 overseas cities. 📦 This train is a customized service for La Poste’s DPD Group, marking the second dedicated route from Chengdu after Malaszewicze, Poland. Cargo includes cross-border e-commerce goods, cold-chain food, and other high-value products. 🚄 Using the “Eurasia Express” model, cargo arriving in Antwerp can be distributed by rail within 2–3 days to Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the UK, and beyond. The full journey takes 16–18 days, achieving “one departure, multiple distributions” across Europe. ⚓ Antwerp-Bruges, a major European hub port, also enables onward sea transport to Morocco, Algeria, and Mauritania, creating a seamless “Chengdu consolidation – Antwerp distribution – North Africa re-export” supply chain loop. ⏱️ Compared to traditional sea freight taking over 50 days to Africa, this rail-sea intermodal service reduces the total transport time to around 25 days, cutting delivery time in half. This milestone strengthens Chengdu’s role in global supply chains and further supports China’s foreign trade growth. #ChinaEuropeRail #GlobalLogistics #AntwerpPort #SupplyChainInnovation #Chengdu
