Routes by lane

Pick a lane to see its 3 busiest routes by published sailings; the rest are one click away.

Published transit is the shortest to longest time across every sailing in the next four weeks. Airlift history is the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments on that lane. Direct counts sailings with no transshipment.

Common questions

Where do the sailing dates come from?

From the carriers’ own published sailing schedules, read through the same feed that powers Airlift’s vessel schedule and transit-time tools. Each route page lists departures for the four weeks after the date shown on the page, and your browser checks the feed again when you open it, so the list stays current.

What is a carrier service?

It is a carrier’s fixed loop of port calls, with a set group of ships rotating around it. Each service has a short code, such as IEX or TP6. Sealanes reads that code from every stop of a published sailing and groups the sailings, ships and port calls under it, so you can see the regular rhythm your cargo would travel on.

Why doesn’t every ship or service have its own page?

Because it has appeared on fewer than three published sailings across the routes Sealanes covers, which is too little to be useful. Its name still shows in the sailing table, just without a link.

How is this different from a carrier’s own schedule search?

It shows every carrier on a route side by side instead of one carrier at a time. It also keeps a dated copy you can cite, and it sits next to Airlift’s own transit history, duty tools and quote desk. It is not a booking system and does not show rates.

Which routes are covered?

The routes on Airlift’s shipping-lane guides: the India, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Belgium and Italy lanes to and from the United States and Canada. For any other pair of seaports, use the route planner. It asks the live schedule feed for their sailings but keeps no dated copy.

Other tools

Where this data comes from

Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules and cover departures in the next four weeks; your browser checks the schedule feed again each time you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labeled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments on that lane. Sea lines on the maps are schematic, not exact tracks.

Schedules published as of Sep 18. For planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice, so confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before you book. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
