Actual transit (from carrier discharge events)
28days median
Middle half 21–34 days · 90% within 35 days · n = 404 shipments with a recorded discharge
Loaded on board at Qingdao → container discharged at Mombasa, 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
+1day median · after the planned arrival
Middle half 0 to +6 days · n = 96 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on this route, across 12 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 Mombasa ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Qingdao to Mombasa — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 28 days (middle half 21–34 days, 90% within 35 days) across 404 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, 4% of the 267 Qingdao-to-Mombasa shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Hong Kong and Nhava Sheva; 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 Kenya and China to Uganda trade lanes.
