Below are 5 alternatives for shipping cargo from Hong Kong to Germany by sea, road, rail and air transport. The fastest route, unsurprisingly, involves air transport and is expected to take about 7 days, including pre-carriage and last mile delivery. Unfortunately, it also appears to be the most expensive and least environmentally friendly shipping alternative.
The cheapest shipping alternative is by sea and has estimated transit time of about 45 days. The most environmentally friendly alternative involves rail transport and offers estimated transit time of 31 days. Transport costs involved in this delivery solution also appear to be on a feasible level.
1. Most economical shipping alternative between Hong Kong and Germany
The cheapest way to ship cargo from Hong Kong to Germany is to deliver by truck from Hong Kong to Hong-Kong port, transfer to vessel and ship to Hamburg port, then deliver by road to final destination in Berlin. The route's total transit time is estimated at around 45 days, including loading and unloading operations at origin and destination as well as terminal handling at transit terminals.
