A new Land-Sea Express - Cosco Shipping Lines Italy

On the first days of July, a block train service was introduced in Trieste to make it easier to transport goods from the Chinese company Hisense, specialized on white goods (home appliances).

The first train on the new line left the port of Trieste in northeastern Italy and was run by China's COSCO SHIPPING. Tuesday is the expected arrival of the train, which is hauling 32 containers, in Velenje, Slovenia, the location of Hisense's European headquarters.

In the future, "the electrical products produced by Hisense in Velenje will also be transported to Trieste by the block train, loaded on container vessels of COSCO SHIPPING," Executive Vice President of COSCO SHIPPING Lin Ji stated at the launch ceremony of the Hisense train in Trieste.

The president of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia autonomous region, where Trieste is located, Massimiliano Fedriga, thanked COSCO SHIPPING and Hisense for appreciating the port of Trieste's potential and expressed his hope that opportunities for business partnerships would continue to expand.

Trieste is the fourth channel to be opened on the China-Europe Land-Sea Express Line in Europe, after the main channel of Piraeus Port, the channel of Rijeka in Croatia, and the Valencia-Madrid-Bilbao channel in Spain, according to COSCO SHIPPING.
