Uniserve, part of GB Global, has further strengthened its China–UK logistics offering, launching a Rail LCL consolidation service to give customers greater speed, predictability and control in challenging market conditions.
With supply chains continuing to face disruption, from port congestion to fluctuating capacity, businesses are increasingly looking for reliable alternatives to traditional shipping methods. Uniserve’s China-UK rail LCL service has been designed to meet that need.
Operating weekly from Xi’an, the service consolidates cargo from major Chinese manufacturing hubs including Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao and Shenzhen. From there, shipments move by rail to Poland in just 12 days, providing a clear advantage.
The journey continues into the UK via frequent sailings, arriving at Tilbury with devanning taking place within immediate reach of the port. Throughout the process, Uniserve provides single operator accountability from origin to final delivery – improving visibility and reducing operational risk.
This enhanced service is carefully structured to avoid heavily congested North West European rail terminals, helping maintain the flow of goods when traditional routes face delays. The result is a more predictable and resilient supply chain solution.
For SMEs, retailers and businesses managing multiple suppliers, the flexibility of LCL consolidation removes the need to commit to full container volumes, while maintaining competitive pricing and dependable transit times.
Sustainability is also a key benefit. By using rail for the long-haul leg, customers can reduce emission.
In today’s uncertain trading environment, Uniserve’s enhanced Rail LCL service offers something increasingly valuable: consistency you can plan around.
