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.
Saudi Arabia to China ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Saudi Arabia to China — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 47 days (middle half 41–55 days, 90% within 55 days) across 57 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at Saudi Arabia ports including Jeddah and Dammam and is discharged mainly at Ningbo, Shanghai, Huangpu and Xingang on the China side.
Every Saudi Arabia-to-China 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.
