Article Preview

Abstract:

Optimization of international transport chain may significantly contribute to the successful outcome of international trade. The performance of various transport mode influences its selection. This paper analyses and compares the transport chain between China and Germany, aiming to identify the best practices and chose the optimal transport mode. Based on analyzing secondary data, the different transport modes are presented. The SWOT analysis was selected to analyze and compare the competitive operation of the various transport modes between China and Germany. It was explored the determinate of the selection of transport mode; the train transport should be urged to develop between China and Germany, besides air- and marine mode; In addition, price, timing, service grade and relationship with forwarder are the vital factors to the routine option between China and Germany. More secondary data should be used to validate the research in the future.
