Rail Freight & Multimodal

Not every destination has a port. For landlocked markets — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia — rail and multimodal routings are not a cheaper alternative to ocean freight; they are the only way in. American Global Freights books container rail out of China into Central Asia, and combines sea, rail, road and Caspian ferry legs into a single routing with one party accountable end to end.

The choice between routes is an economic one, not a matter of preference. Rail from China to Almaty typically halves the transit of an ocean-plus-overland routing at a fraction of air-freight cost. The Middle Corridor across the Caspian avoids Russian territory entirely. We price the realistic options side by side and tell you which one your cargo actually justifies.
