90% within (P90) 68 days
Shipments with a recorded discharge 588

From the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at Hamburg, as Evergreen's container events record it — actual dates, not estimates, for only the shipments whose discharge is on record. Volume-weighted across the loading ports with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 96% of the arrivals.

Schedule slip vs plan at Hamburg same shipments: actual discharge minus planned arrival
Median +2 daysafter the planned arrival
Middle half (P25–P75) 0 to +3 days
Shipments with both dates 143
Sailings (vessel voyages) 24

Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at Hamburg minus the first planned arrival there, over only the shipments with both — whole days, exact to within a day either way; negative means ahead of plan. Each shipment is measured against its own plan, so it is not weighted by loading port. Every container on a late vessel is late together, so the slip is shown only when those shipments came on at least 5 sailings.
