| Summary: | Abstract: The aim of this article is to synthetically assess the impact of crisis phenomena on
transport volumes in rail cargo transport between Asia and Europe on the rail Silk Road. The
analysis of secondary sources and the analysis of transport results in traffic between China
and Europe was carried out on the basis of data and statistical quantities obtained as part of
analytical and research work in the field of freight traffic within the framework of the
Organization for Co-Operation between Railways (OSJD). The analysis confirmed that freight
traffic between China and Europe has shown its stability in transport volumes. The actions
taken by the railways of the member states of the OSJD to counteract the crisis phenomena
resulted in the achievement of positive transport results and an increase in container transport
in international rail traffic between Asia and Europe on the rail Silk Road. The results of the
analyses showed an increase in container transport in the China-Europe-China relations in the
rail transport corridors operating under the New Silk Road concept. Nevertheless, the crisis
has highlighted changes in transport on the Northern Corridor and efforts to search for
alternative transport corridors. The main indicators of international rail transport in transit
transport between Asia and Europe turned out to be the speed of transport and the time of
delivery of goods. The transport results were influenced by work on the development and
organization of container transport in international traffic, including the organization of
container block trains, digitization of service processes at border crossings, and the
CIM/SMGS consignment note.
