INLAND SERVICES
Road, Rail & Barge —
UK to China and Beyond
From UK domestic road freight to transcontinental rail connections along the Belt & Road, Allenek and its partner network move your cargo by the most efficient route.
ROAD FREIGHT
UK Domestic & Cross-Border Road Freight
Allenek's road freight partner network covers the full spectrum of UK domestic movements — from port collections at Felixstowe, Southampton, Tilbury, and London Gateway through to final-mile delivery anywhere in Great Britain. Whether you need a single container moved or a regular scheduled service, we match your cargo to the right carrier at the right price.
For cross-border movements, we operate UK–EU and EU–EU road freight services connecting the UK with all major European markets. Our partner hauliers are experienced in post-Brexit customs procedures, ensuring your cargo clears borders without delay. EU-to-EU road freight is also available for cargo already in Europe that needs onward distribution to its final destination.

UK INTERMODAL RAIL
Container Shunting by Road & Rail — Greener, Faster
For UK inland container movements, Allenek offers containerised intermodal solutions through our established rail freight partner network. Rather than moving containers by road alone, we can route your cargo by rail from major UK port terminals directly to inland rail depots, significantly reducing road congestion and carbon emissions.
Our UK rail network connects all major port terminals — including Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, and Tilbury — with key inland distribution hubs at Daventry, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Crewe, and Coatbridge in Scotland. Fast terminal turnarounds make this a reliable alternative to pure road haulage for longer domestic distances.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Rail freight produces up to 76% less CO₂ than road haulage per tonne-kilometre. Switching to intermodal rail is one of the most impactful steps your business can take to reduce its logistics carbon footprint.

EU RAIL CONNECTIONS
Seamless Rail Across the Continent
Our European rail partners operate rail-connected facilities that allow direct loading and unloading of railcars on-site, enabling true intermodal integration. Cargo arriving by sea at Antwerp or Rotterdam can be transferred directly to rail wagons and dispatched to inland terminals in Germany, France, Switzerland, or further east — without unnecessary road legs.
This approach is particularly effective for high-volume, time-sensitive cargo where road congestion at major ports would otherwise cause delays, and for businesses with sustainability commitments requiring lower-emission transport modes.
EASTERN EUROPE & BELT & ROAD
Europe to China — Transcontinental Rail
For Eastern European movements and transcontinental shipments along China's Belt & Road Initiative, Allenek connects your cargo to one of Europe's most extensive rail freight networks — spanning Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and China.
Our rail partner network operates block trains and wagonload services across key corridors including Duisburg–Antwerp, Duisburg–Rotterdam, Budapest–Balkans, and multiple routes connecting European ports with Chinese manufacturing hubs in Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, and beyond.
This network is a direct enabler of Belt & Road trade — providing a land bridge between European ports and Chinese cities that is faster than sea freight and more cost-effective than air freight, with transit times typically ranging from 12 to 18 days between Europe and China.
