| Shipments with a recorded discharge | 498 |
From the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at Mombasa, 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 95% of the arrivals.
| Median | +1 dayafter the planned arrival |
|---|---|
| Middle half (P25–P75) | 0 to +6 days |
| Shipments with both dates | 103 |
| Sailings (vessel voyages) | 14 |
Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at Mombasa 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.
