TCB Group has reinforced its standing as a leading neutral provider of LCL services with the introduction of a new rail freight consolidation service from China to Ireland. This latest offering highlights the company’s ongoing dedication to delivering value-added, neutral shipping solutions tailored for Irish shipping agents.
The new rail service provides transit times of 32 days from China to Ireland, offering a significantly faster alternative to sea freight while remaining a more cost-effective option than air freight. Additionally, it mitigates the risks associated with port congestion and delays, allowing shipping agents greater reliability and confidence in delivery schedules.
Operating from Xi’an rail hub, a major rail hub in central China, TCB Group ensures efficient consolidation of cargo sourced from key ports and inland manufacturing regions, delivered to TCB Group’s CFS in Dublin and Belfast.
“We are determined to keep disrupting the status quo within the neutral shipping market though a positive, proactive and innovative approach,” said Gillean Hunter, Global Agency Manager at TCB Group. “Our new rail service has already been very well received, and we’re proud to continue adding both practical solutions and tangible value for our customers.”
This latest announcement from TCB Group follows a string of positive developments at the company in recent weeks as they continue to go from strength to strength. Recent announcements include securing a strategic partnership with a leading European road freight provider and the launch of a direct LCL consol from Colombo to Ireland, enhancing LCL imports from throughout South East Asia directly into Ireland.
With these positive developments TCB Group further solidifies its position as a trusted, neutral partner for Ireland’s freight forwarding community, empowering shipping agents with flexible and dependable shipping options to navigate challenging market demands.
