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.

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.
China to Lebanon ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from China to Lebanon — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 53 days (middle half 33–59 days, 90% within 63 days) across 42 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at China ports including Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo and Xingang and is discharged mainly at Beirut on the Lebanon side.
Every China-to-Lebanon 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.
Planned routing: 23% of 81 shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge are planned via a transshipment port, most often Piraeus (18), Ningbo (2); 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 Lebanon?
- The median estimated transit from China to Lebanon is 50 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 36 and 58 days and 90% at 69 days or less, across 108 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 Lebanon actually take?
- The median actual transit from China to Lebanon is 53 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 33 and 59 days and 90% took 63 days or less, across 42 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 Lebanon shipments?
- Cargo most often loads at Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo and Xingang. On arrival it is most often discharged at Beirut.
- Is cargo from China to Lebanon shipped direct or transshipped?
- In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, 23% of the 81 China-to-Lebanon shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Piraeus and Ningbo; 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.
