In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, none of the 478 Shanghai-to-Felixstowe 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.
