Middle half 39–54 days · 90% within 61 days · 883 shipments measured · volume-weighted across the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 91% of the shipments · 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

+14days median · after the planned arrival
Middle half +8 to +14 days · n = 38 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on these lanes, across 12 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.
On the 38 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on these lanes, across 12 sailings, containers were discharged a median 14 days after the carrier's planned arrival at the port of discharge: the planned date is the carrier's plan as bexy read each Bill of Lading, and those schedules have slipped.
China ocean freight imports
Median estimated transit is 46 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 39 and 54 days and 90% at 61 days or less, across 883 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 91% of the shipments. Average transit by origin ranges from about 42 to 60 days.
On the 38 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on these lanes, across 12 sailings, containers were discharged a median 14 days after the carrier's planned arrival at the port of discharge: the planned date is the carrier's plan as bexy read each Bill of Lading, and those schedules have slipped.
Import cargo into China is mainly discharged at Shanghai, Ningbo, Xingang and Qingdao.
Every shipment on these lanes 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 arrival, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.
