Shanghai to Brisbane ocean freight

Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Shanghai to Brisbane — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 29 days (middle half 28–31 days, 90% within 33 days) across 52 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, 1% of the 72 Shanghai-to-Brisbane shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Kaohsiung; 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.
