China-Europe rail freight is booming, reaching a milestone of 110,000 Block Trains since 2011. VIPU Logistics provides smart solutions to reduce congestion and leverage new trade routes. Here’s how we transform rail freight bottlenecks into competitive advantages.

European Rail Hub Status (as of June 12, 2025):

• Malaszewicze Station: No congestion

• Duisburg Station: Fluid operations

• Baku/Tbilisi/Poti/Koryatyichi Stations: All clear

Critical Bottleneck Alerts:

1. Manchuria/Zabaykalsk Border: Suspended all exports since June 9 with 2,700+ containers stranded. VIPU reroutes shipments via:

   • Alashankou Port: 5-8 day clearance (currently stable)

   • Erenhot Port: Minimal congestion

2. Dostyk Border: 7-15 day delays due to Russian rail restrictions until June 12. VIPU’s contingency plan:

   • Shift Europe-bound cargo to Xi’an-Kazakhstan Terminal (newly operational)

   • Leverage Chengdu-Shenzhen Express Rail for ASEAN-bound goods

3. Road Crossings:

   • Friendship Gate (China-Vietnam): 2-3 day queues

   • Khorgos/Toruugart/Irkeshtam: 1-2 day delays

VIPU Logistics’ Strategic Solutions:

1. Congestion-Bypass Routing

   • Instant rerouting via uncongressed hubs like Baku’s Aktau Port (5-day turnover)

   • Chengdu-Lao Express Rail: Stabilize Southeast Asia shipments in 70 hours

2. Cost-Reduction Innovations

   • Replicate Wuhan-Chengdu E-commerce Rail Model: Cut logistics costs by 40% via:

     • Private slot bookings

     • Performance-guaranteed contracts

   • Qingdao-Moscow Express: VIPU priority access to rapid 17-day transit

3. New Corridor Deployment

   • Xi’an-Almaty Terminal: VIPU first-access partner for Central Asia transshipment

   • Cross-Border E-commerce Optimization: Pre-deploy goods in Chengdu rail hubs

Market Expansion Opportunities:

• Air-Rail Synergy: Connect VIPU’s Zhengzhou-Seoul Air Cargo (3x weekly) with rail networks

• Trade Growth Leverage: China’s 7.2% export surge (Jan-May 2025) demands agile solutions
