Why choose sea-rail intermodal transport?

At present, international railway freight platforms for China to Russia and Central Asia generally do not accept bookings for 20-foot containers, and only accept bookings for 40-foot containers. This is a high proportion of transportation costs for heavy cargo with relatively low value and high density. Container shipping companies in Chinese ports generally accept bookings for 20-foot containers. After entering Russia, Russian railways also accept bookings for 20-foot containers, which can reasonably optimize logistics solutions for heavy cargo, thereby effectively reducing freight costs.
