July Keeps the Momentum Rolling
July marked the third straight month with over 1,700 trains operated, moving 185,000 TEUs. With supply chains still recovering from pandemic shocks, this ‘Iron Silk Road’ is proving vital for keeping everything from electronics to electric vehicles moving between Asia and Europe.
