Poland-Belarus border closure disrupts China-Europe rail freight
The closure of the Poland-Belarus border has disrupted China-Europe railway express services, temporarily halting trains bound for the European Union. Multiple freight forwarders told Caixin on Sept. 19 that many EU-bound containers are stranded in Malaszewicze, a village on the Poland-Belarus border. Logistics providers for the railway express estimate the actual impact will be limited as business with the EU accounts for a small proportion of their total volume, and they expect the issue to be resolved by the end of the month.
