KLN Unveils 10,500-km Road Corridor Linking Europe and

KLN Logistics has launched a new road feeder service connecting Europe and the Middle East, providing a faster alternative to ocean freight and a more cost-effective option than air freight.

The new 10,500-kilometer corridor offers door-to-door transit times of 15 to 25 days between Europe and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, and Egypt.

KLN manages the full journey under a single contract, from collection in Europe to final delivery in the Middle East, including customs compliance, permits, border coordination, and customs-escorted transit where required. The service is available for non-stackable palletized cargo weighing up to 23 tonnes per truck, including dangerous goods, with complete original shipping documentation required at origin and cargo insurance arranged by the shipper.

Martin Stoekenbroek, Managing Director - EMEA of KLN, said: 'This service gives customers a viable option between ocean and air freight at a time when direct access into the region remains challenging. It enables businesses to continue selling and exporting to consignees across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region while reducing reliance on a single mode of transport, including dangerous goods shipments that require a dependable overland solution.'

Darren Baker, Chief Operations Officer - EMEA of KLN, said: 'Moving dangerous goods across multiple borders requires careful management of documentation, permits, customs procedures, and local regulations. This service provides customers with an established operating process and a single managed solution from origin to destination, helping to maintain the reliable movement of cargo into the region despite current access challenges.'

The new corridor expands KLN's overland network, supporting businesses seeking reliable alternatives for maintaining cargo flows between Europe, the GCC region, and neighboring Middle Eastern markets.
