What Changes the Transit Time

  • Direct or transshipmentA direct service is faster. A transshipment adds days at the hub port.
  • Suez or the CapeSome lines still route via the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Suez Canal, which adds days to the voyage. We confirm the current routing with your booking.
  • Port congestion and weatherWaiting time at busy ports and bad weather can delay arrival.
  • Before and after the sea legCut-off, customs clearance and trucking come on top of the port-to-port time.

Common Questions

How many ports can I search?

Close to 17,000 seaports from the UN/LOCODE list, in every country with a coast. Search by port name, country or the five-letter code, for example EGALY for Alexandria.

Which Egyptian port should I use for Cairo?

Alexandria, El Dekheila and Damietta handle most Mediterranean cargo, with trucking to Greater Cairo. Ain Sokhna and Adabiya suit cargo from the Red Sea, the Gulf and Asia. Port Said and East Port Said suit transshipment cargo. We advise on the best port for each shipment.

Are the transit times guaranteed?

No. The days are approximate port-to-port times for typical liner services. The real time depends on the carrier, the routing, port congestion and the season. We confirm the sailing with your booking.

Do the days include customs and trucking?

No. They cover the sea leg from port to port. Customs clearance and delivery to your door come on top, and our team plans both with you.

What if my port is not in the list?

Pick the closest port and add the exact place in your quote request. Our team confirms the right terminal or the inland delivery.
