About the Port of Rotterdam
Cargo bound for Rotterdam is most often loaded at Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang and Ningbo. Planned port-to-port transit to Rotterdam has a median of 40 days (middle half 37–46 days, 90% within 51 days), an estimate measured from the loaded-on-board date to the first planned arrival at Rotterdam in the carrier's routing, across 2,322 shipments. It weights each loading port by its number of arrivals, over the loading ports with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 96% of the arrivals. Actual transit to Rotterdam, from the carrier's container discharge events, has a median of 49 days (middle half 43–54 days, 90% within 59 days), measured from the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at Rotterdam, across 1,532 shipments with a recorded discharge at Rotterdam. It weights each loading port by its number of arrivals, over the loading ports with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 98% of the arrivals. On the 334 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge at Rotterdam, across 34 sailings, containers were discharged a median 3 days after the carrier's planned arrival: the planned date is the carrier's plan as bexy read each Bill of Lading, and those schedules have slipped.
Containers loaded at Rotterdam most often sail to China, United States, Taiwan and Japan. Estimated outbound transit averages about 45 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none, across 675 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. It weights each destination country by its number of departures, over the destination countries with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 87% of the departures.

From the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at Rotterdam, as Evergreen's container events record it — actual dates, not estimates, for only the shipments whose discharge is on record.

Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at Rotterdam 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.
On the 334 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge at Rotterdam, across 34 sailings, containers were discharged a median 3 days after the carrier's planned arrival: the planned date is the carrier's plan as bexy read each Bill of Lading, and those schedules have slipped.
