Container train service from Vietnam's Danang city to Europe suspended

The train would depart from Danang to Hanoi’s Dong Anh station, stop at the Dong Dang international railway station in Lang Son Province for customs clearance and then travel on to China’s Zhengzhou station before connecting to the Asia-Europe rail line to get to its destinations.

Due to Russia’s special military operation against Ukraine, IKEA suspended the plan, according to Vietnamese media reports.

Trains from Vietnam to Russia and China have not been affected though.

In July 2021, VNR operated the first container train from Hanoi to Belgium. It currently runs three container trains from Hanoi to Europe per week.
