There are four main routes for inland cities shipping from China to Ukraine:
①All-rail transportation through inland ports such as Manzhouli and Alashankou. If there is no backlog of goods at the port, the transportation speed is faster, but the cost is high; If there is a backlog of goods at the port, it is difficult to guarantee the transportation time.
②By sea to Dongfang Port or Vladivostok and then transferred by rail. In the Oriental Port or Vladivostok, there will be poor transshipment of goods, and the cost of this solution is also higher.
③Sea freight to Okee Port, then transshipment to St. Petersburg, Klaipeda and other ports, and then by rail or truck to the inland. The advantage is that the cost is lower than 1 and 2, but the transport time is long, and there is a freezing period of several months in St. Petersburg in winter, during which the transshipment cost is high and the speed is slow.
④By sea to a Black Sea port such as Odessa, Illichevsk or Novorossiysk, and then transfer to a railway or truck. The route has the characteristics of reasonable transportation time, low cost, and the Black Sea port is basically unaffected by the ice period.
