Transit days run port to port, as the carrier publishes them. They don’t include the origin cut-off, customs release or delivery inland. 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.

Carrier services on this route

A carrier service is a carrier’s fixed loop of port calls, such as Hapag-Lloyd’s IEX. This list comes from the stops on the sailings above; the number is sailings on this route. Services seen on at least 3 sailings across Sealanes have their own page.

Where these schedules come 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.
