Freight Transportation
Air freight: Air freight from China to the UK can take between 3 and 4 days as part of a transhipment, in which the goods or containers travel to an intermediate destination before being moved to their final destination. A direct air freight shipment would take 1 day.
Sea freight: Depending on the distance and type of product, sea freight shipping from China to the UK can take up to six weeks (between 35 and 42 days).
Rail freight: Rail freight is considered a very reliable option, with shipments taking between 18 and 24 days to reach the UK from China. It is faster than sea freight shipping and costs less than air freight.
Road freight: The road freight route from China to the UK takes between 14 and 16 days. Road freight shipping is a flexible and economical option, with goods being transported via long-haul deliveries by lorries.
Key Shipping Ports In China
China possesses seven out of ten of the world’s biggest and busiest shipping ports. In order to keep up with the country’s import and export demand, they have a total of 34 major ports and over 2000 smaller ones. Without these shipping ports, the country would not be able to develop at the rate it is developing. Some of the key China shipping ports include:
Shanghai: The world’s largest port since 2010, located on the Yangtze River delta, sees 42 million TEU pass through it every year.
Shenzhen: The second largest port in China, on the Pearl River, with different types of cargo assigned to designated zones.
Ningbo-Zhoushan: Formed by the merger of two ports, Ningbo and Zhoushan, and takes in supplies of raw material, cargo and many finished products from North & South America.
