       Now also partnered by rail
Partner cities Shanghai and Hamburg are now also connected
by a container train service. The first fully-loaded container
block train arrived at the DUSS Terminal in Hamburg-Billwerd-
er on 25 October. Starting in Hamburg’s partner city of Shang-
hai, the new service takes the train via Alashankou in Kazakh-
stan, Belarus, Małaszewicze in Poland and finally on to
Hamburg. Two deputy mayors of Shanghai, Zhang Wei and
Zong Ming, attended the departure ceremony. The Shanghai
Express is operated by Shanghai Orient Silkroad Intermodal Co.
Ltd. On its maiden run the ‘Shanghai-Express’ transported fifty
40-ft containers of clothing, shoes, glassware, automotive parts,
photovoltaic equipment, cooking utensils, furniture, lamps and other consumer goods. Initially the regular service will feature a weekly departure to Hamburg, but
frequency should later be increased to two or three per week. According to the opera- tors, departures to the end of the year are already sold out.
