About the Port of Houston

From the loaded-on-board date to the planned arrival at Houston in the carrier's routing — estimates, port to port, with no inland leg. Volume-weighted across the loading ports with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 80% of the arrivals.

| Middle half (P25–P75) | 31–50 days |
| 90% within (P90) | 64 days |
| Shipments with a recorded discharge | 180 |
From the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at Houston, 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 80% of the arrivals.
| Median | +2 daysafter the planned arrival |
|---|---|
| Middle half (P25–P75) | 0 to +2 days |
| Shipments with both dates | 24 |
| Sailings (vessel voyages) | 11 |
Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at Houston 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.
