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.

It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 98% of the shipments.

Import cargo into United Arab Emirates is mainly discharged at Jebel Ali, Khor Fakkan, Abu Dhabi and Ajman.

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.
