In the modern world, in Europe and in Poland, many forms of cooperation between states and enterprises can be observed.

It is presented on the background of the globalization and competitive processes in transport services. The demand for transport services, resulting from rapid growth of China is discussed, with particular interest in two modes of transport: railway and sea.

It opens new possibilities for rail transport to compete on the China - Europe route, especially considering the factor of time.
