On Feb. 22, a freight train loaded with car parts, clothes and medical supplies departed from Wuhan, traveling northwards to Manzhouli. After leaving China for Ust-Luga, Russia, the goods will then be transported to Mukran, Germany via barge and transferred to Hamburg and Duisburg via rail, from where 18 containers of goods worth RMB 1.87 million will finally be sent to Helsinki.

　　Compared with the past when goods were shipped by sea to Europe and then transported by trucks after arriving to Europe, the new route is more time-saving and cost-effective, marking an extension of the existing Wuhan-Europe transportation route.
　　此次班列上经乌斯季卢卡铁路直达芬兰赫尔辛基站点的货物，较以往海运或中欧(武汉)班列到达欧洲境内拖车分拨的方式，节省了运输时间，降低了综合运输成本，也标志着武汉铁路到欧洲的跨境运输线路再次扩容。
　　There are now 30 regular China-Europe freight train (Wuhan) routes across Eurasia, connecting over 70 cities in more than 30 countries.
