Abstract

The growth of trade flows between Asia and Europe results in growing container traffic between continents involved. Maritime transport dominates in cargo transport between China and Europe, but due to congestions in Chinese and European sea ports there is a need to develop the alternative transport routes, mainly railroad ones. It is a main goal of the new Chinese project "One Belt, One Road" under the concept of New Silk Road. The purpose of the article is to analyze both the trade and transport flows between Asia, mainly China and Europe. In the article there are also presented the idea of the New Silk Road as well as the examples of container trains operated between China and Europe. Finally, author presents the role of Poland in development of rail con­nections under New Silk Road.
