What changes the transit time
On the same route, different sailings give different arrival windows.
-
Carrier schedules
Sailing frequency differs by carrier, and direct and transhipment routings connect differently.
-
Cut-off and gate closing
Times are set by the carrier for each sailing. Trucking and customs must finish before them.
-
Weather and port congestion
Typhoons, fog and congestion at destination change arrival and collection dates.
-
Destination inspection
Inspection, fumigation and document review add time at the destination port.
-
Transhipment connections
A change to the connecting vessel at the transhipment port moves the whole transit.
Cargo assessed separately
Dangerous goods and out-of-gauge heavy units sit outside the standard quotation and are assessed separately. Acceptance depends on the commodity, packing, carrier and port conditions, all confirmed before quoting.
