CGN operates across all four primary freight modes — air, ocean, road, and rail — with the capability to combine modes in a single multi-modal shipment managed under one booking, one tracking reference, and one invoice.
Air Freight
The fastest way to move time-critical cargo globally. CGN operates on all major air freight lanes with express, deferred, and charter options — including cold chain and dangerous goods capability.
Ocean Freight
The most cost-effective way to move large volumes globally. CGN offers FCL and LCL services with dedicated vessel space on all major trade lanes — including out-of-gauge and reefer capability.
Road Freight
Door-to-door road freight across domestic and cross-border markets — from full truckload and groupage to express road and temperature-controlled transport for perishables and pharmaceuticals.
Rail Freight
The sustainable middle ground between air speed and ocean cost. CGN operates on the China-Europe rail corridor and key overland routes — delivering up to 60% CO2 savings vs air with transit times of 12–18 days.
