Turkey to China ocean freight
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at Turkey ports including Mersin, Aliaga, Gemlik and Iskenderun and is discharged mainly at Xiamen, Ningbo, Shanghai and Xingang on the China side.
Every Turkey-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.

Share is of this lane's shipments that record both ports. Planned port-to-port is the median (and middle half) from the loaded-on-board date to the first planned arrival at the port of discharge in the carrier's routing — no inland leg, unlike the transit time above — shown when at least 20 shipments have both dates; n is how many of the pair's shipments it rests on.
Planned routing: 44% of 168 shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge are planned via a transshipment port, most often Piraeus (30), Hong Kong (14), Kaohsiung (12); the rest are planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. This is the carrier's planned routing when bexy read each Bill of Lading, and it can change after booking.
