Rotterdam to Ningbo ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Rotterdam to Ningbo — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 53 days (middle half 46–61 days, 90% within 92 days) across 28 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 62 Rotterdam-to-Ningbo 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 Netherlands to China and Germany to China trade lanes.
