Actual transit (from carrier discharge events)
42days median
Middle half 39–47 days · 90% within 49 days · n = 103 shipments with a recorded discharge
Loaded on board at Ningbo → container discharged at Rotterdam, from the carrier's container events: actual dates, not estimates, for only the shipments whose discharge is on record — most Bills of Lading are read after the container has been returned empty.
Schedule slip vs plan
+2days median · after the planned arrival
Middle half +2 to +3 days · n = 21 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on this route, across 5 sailings
Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge minus the carrier's first planned arrival there — 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 a plain count, not weighted by volume. A sailing is one vessel voyage: every container on a late vessel is late together, so the slip is shown only when its shipments came on at least 5 sailings.
Ningbo to Rotterdam ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Ningbo to Rotterdam — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 42 days (middle half 39–47 days, 90% within 49 days) across 103 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, none of the 131 Ningbo-to-Rotterdam shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge called at a transshipment port: all were planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. A transshipment port here is a planned stop between those two ports that is not the place of receipt or delivery, and routings can change after booking.
By place of receipt and delivery, this cargo travels mostly on the China to Netherlands trade lane.
