Rail shipments
The most sustainable alternative between China and Europe.
In a continuous evolving sector where it is increasingly becoming crucial to open up towards new routes and emerging countries, Unifret International Group offers integrated logistics services also via rail.
Rail transport offers an speed-price ratio that is optimum for sustainable development, safety and loading capacity. We are specialised in transporting containers by rail and can support you in customs clearance activities, both for imports and exports.

The services of a road shipment:
- Express Service;
- Shipment of full (FTL) and partial (PTL) truckloads and groupage shipments (LTL);

For transporting everything that is not standard.
We can help you when you need to transfer extra large, irregularly shaped and extra heavy or complex loads.
Our special transports provide reliable, safe solutions, and a cheap and sustainable quality service. Everything is possible, even if your goods require extra special treatment.
The services of special shipments:
- Transport engineering;
- Measurements of the route and the terrain;
- Chartered shipping services by sea and air;

Choose the country you want to ship from and allow Unifret International Group to help you find the best solution.

In-depth knowledge of international shipments, an experienced staff, and a Chinese background are the ingredients of our shipping services to and from China.
This way, the delivery times are significantly reduced, allowing us to offer a first class service. Whatever your load may be and wherever in China it may be headed, we have the right solution for you.
