Actual transit (from carrier discharge events)
63days median
Middle half 53–70 days · 90% within 76 days · n = 86 shipments with a recorded discharge
Loaded on board at Qingdao → container discharged at Houston, 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 +1 to +2 days · n = 21 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on this route, across 10 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.
Qingdao to Houston ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Qingdao to Houston — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 63 days (middle half 53–70 days, 90% within 76 days) across 86 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, 10% of the 100 Qingdao-to-Houston shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Pusan and Ningbo; the rest 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 United States trade lane.
