Qingdao to Melbourne ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Qingdao to Melbourne — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 56 days (middle half 42–56 days, 90% within 56 days) across 32 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, fewer than 1% of the 138 Qingdao-to-Melbourne shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often 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 Australia trade lane.
