Germany to United States ocean freight
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at Germany ports including Bremerhaven, Rotterdam and Antwerp and is discharged mainly at New York, Norfolk, Charleston and Houston on the United States side.
Every Germany-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.
