Ports this service calls, in order
Day 0 is the first dated call in the next four weeks; the other days are the typical gap from it. "Calls seen" is how many sailings stopped at each port. The order comes from the 79 published sailings on the service (61 follow this order), not from Hapag-Lloyd's proforma (planned standard) schedule.
Only ports where a Sealanes route starts, changes ships (transships) or ends are listed. A port with no day shown never shared a dated sailing with the others.
| Port | Country | Arrives | Departs | Calls seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai | China | — | day 0 | 24 |
| Ningbo | China | — | day 1 | 16 |
| Yantian | China | — | day 6 | 35 |
| Busan | South Korea | day 11 | — | 5 |
| Houston, TX | United States of America | day 39 | — | 78 |

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 as published Sep 18; method last reviewed 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.
