Middle Corridor – A More Stable Silk Route
What used to be a steady route from China to Europe now feels like a gamble. One week it’s port delays, the next it’s sanctions or geopolitics.

It’s out of your hands, so you start looking elsewhere. But sea freight is too slow and air is too costly.

Our middle-corridor service is reliable, cost-effective, and run by real people who pick up the phone, not chatbots.
We’re a Nordic-based freight provider offering a stable, secure rail alternative from China to Europe via the Middle Corridor, with 45-day transit times to Hamburg.

The Middle Corridor connects Asia and Europe using a stable route that avoids hotspots.
Shipments travel from China through Kazakhstan to Aktau on the Caspian Sea, cross by ferry to Baku, then move overland through the Caucasus to the Port of Poti in Georgia.
Conveniently, from Poti your goods can reach multiple European ports by sea or connect to rail and road networks. No need to rely on Russian rail or the Suez Canal.

Bypass Geopolitical Risk with The BTK Railway
The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway bypasses Black Sea shipping lanes, going directly to Kars in Turkey.
The BTK railway has modern stations, bridges, tunnels, and rail lines. The BTK railway is much faster than shipping via the Black Sea and offers more geopolitical security by using maritime routes through the Suez Canal.
The route is ideal for large volumes of goods and containers, providing easier access to key markets in Europe, China, and Central Asia.

Compared to other land routes through Russia or Iran, the middle corridor is a reliable choice for trade.
Other logistics companies say they do end-to-end, but it’s often a patchwork of handoffs and third parties. We’re different. Our single back office connects operations across Asia and Europe. We know the route well and can deal with regional issues as they arise.

Gain Geopolitical Security with the New Silk Route
You can move goods from Asia to Europe via the “New Silk Route”, a reference to the ancient silk trade road between Asia and Europe.
In recent years, there has been a big increase in rail freight. In 2016 there were 1,702 freight trains annually between China and Europe. In 2023, there were more than 17,0001.
About Us
Silk Route Pioneers – 8+ Years Experience
Since 2014, EurAsia Rail Express has led the way in rail freight between Asia and Europe, long before the current geopolitical crisis.

Our first shipment crossed the China-Kazakhstan border at the Dostyk and Khorgos stations, shortening the freight route between China and Europe, a faster alternative to the traditional Trans-Siberian Route that offers improved geopolitical security.
Since 2016, we've provided weekly, consistent services along this new route, boosting both the speed and reliability of shipments, even during the global pandemic.
We have local offices in Hong Kong and Finland to offer joined-up support between China and Europe. Therefore, we offer a personal, responsive logistics service, not a faceless global operation.

Less Geopolitical Risk. More Geopolitical Security.
