Shipping from China to Indonesia
Ocean freight from China to Indonesia is a high-volume container trade lane on bexy, with 23,281 shipments on record. Median estimated transit is 14 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none; half of shipments were estimated at between 12 and 18 days and 90% at 25 days or less, across 863 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival.

Estimated from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none, which can include an inland leg; spans over 120 days are left out. The middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.
Actual transit (from carrier discharge events)
14days median
Middle half 12–17 days · 90% within 21 days · n = 348 shipments with a recorded discharge
Loaded on board → container discharged at the port of discharge, from the carrier's container events: actual dates, not estimates. It has no inland leg, so it is not directly comparable with the estimate, and it rests on fewer shipments because most Bills of Lading are read after the container has been returned empty.
Schedule slip vs plan
0days median · on the planned day
Middle half 0 to +1 days · n = 51 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on this lane, across 17 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.
China to Indonesia ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from China to Indonesia — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 14 days (middle half 12–17 days, 90% within 21 days) across 348 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at China ports including Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang and Xiamen and is discharged mainly at Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya and Batam on the Indonesia side.
Every China-to-Indonesia shipment here travels on an Evergreen (EGLV) Bill of Lading and is read from the carrier's own tracking record: vessel, voyage, port milestones and per-container status, re-checked after the estimated arrival (the ETA, or the last planned arrival when there is none) until a status reports the shipment at its final destination, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.

Share is of this lane's shipments that record both ports. Planned port-to-port is the median (and middle half) from the loaded-on-board date to the first planned arrival at the port of discharge in the carrier's routing — no inland leg, unlike the transit time above — shown when at least 20 shipments have both dates; n is how many of the pair's shipments it rests on. Slip vs plan is the median, per shipment, of the actual discharge day minus that planned arrival day, over the pair's shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge (negative means ahead of plan), shown when at least 20 such shipments across at least 5 sailings back it; n is how many shipments, and sailings how many vessel voyages carried them.
Planned routing: 13% of 611 shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge are planned via a transshipment port, most often Port Klang West Port (31), Singapore (29), Hong Kong (9); the rest are planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. This is the carrier's planned routing when bexy read each Bill of Lading, and it can change after booking.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to ship from China to Indonesia?
- The median estimated transit from China to Indonesia is 14 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none; half of shipments were estimated at between 12 and 18 days and 90% at 25 days or less, across 863 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. The exact time depends on the service, any transshipment and any inland leg to the final destination.
- How long does shipping from China to Indonesia actually take?
- The median actual transit from China to Indonesia is 14 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge, as reported in the carrier's container events; half of these shipments took between 12 and 17 days and 90% took 21 days or less, across 348 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. Unlike the estimated transit it ends at the port of discharge, with no inland leg, and it rests on fewer shipments: for most Bills of Lading bexy first reads the record after the container has been returned empty, when the discharge is no longer shown.
- Which ports handle China to Indonesia shipments?
- Cargo most often loads at Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang and Xiamen. On arrival it is most often discharged at Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya and Batam.
- Is cargo from China to Indonesia shipped direct or transshipped?
- In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, 13% of the 611 China-to-Indonesia shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Port Klang West Port, Singapore and Hong Kong; 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.
- How many shipments are tracked on the China to Indonesia route?
- bexy has 23,281 shipments on record for the China to Indonesia lane, the most recent departing Oct 19, 2026.
