The Cost of Transportation by Great Silk Road

The article considers the issues of determining the cost of transportation along the routes of the Great Silk Road. It is shown that the cost of energy needed to transport a 20 ft container from Shanghai to western Europe at current prices is about 0. These values are approximately the same for both rail and sea transport. This creates a potential opportunity to make overland tariffs competitive marine.
