Middle half 10–11 days · 90% within 24 days · n = 44 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.
France to United States ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from France to United States — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 10 days (middle half 10–11 days, 90% within 24 days) across 44 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at France ports including Le Havre and is discharged mainly at New York, Savannah, Norfolk and Charleston on the United States side.
Every France-to-United States 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.
