The train is routed from China via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and across the Black Sea to Romania.

The Finnish logistics company declared that it planned the new route from scratch within two months and that it would follow the Trans-Caspian route.

Nurminen currently provides door-to-door rail service between Asia and Nordic countries and container train services between Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

"Opening the route required strong confidence from China Railways in our operations and, above all, our customers' trust in us. In addition, Nurminen's international railway team also showed excellent expertise and implementation in a difficult and fast-paced situation," said Nurminen Logistics CEO Olli Pohjanvirta.
