Shanghai to Barcelona ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Shanghai to Barcelona — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 44 days (middle half 39–46 days, 90% within 47 days) across 22 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 34 Shanghai-to-Barcelona 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 Spain trade lane.
