COSCO sailing schedules

See COSCO (COSCO Shipping Lines) forward sailings and, where the data is there, how reliably COSCO actually arrives on a lane — measured from actual vs scheduled arrivals across tracked port calls, not from the schedule COSCO published.

COSCO sailings come from COSCO's published schedule API, normalised into the same schedule shape as every other line. COSCO is one of China’s largest container carriers and an Ocean Alliance member.

What you get for COSCO

  • Forward sailings — vessel, voyage, service loop, departure and arrival dates, and cut-offs where COSCO publishes them.
  • Coverage — global Ocean Alliance trades with especially dense Asia–Europe and transpacific coverage.
  • Reliability — once a lane has enough tracked port calls, we score COSCO on actual-vs-scheduled arrival, not on the schedule it published. Thin lanes are shown as low-sample, never guessed.
  • Same shape as every line — COSCO reads the same as MSC, Maersk, or any other carrier, so you can rank them side by side.

How COSCO reliability is scored

We don't take a carrier's word for its transit time. When SchedulesMCP has enough tracked arrivals on a COSCO lane, it compares each actual arrival against what was scheduled and reports the observed on-time rate and the median and p90 transit. Lanes without enough observations are labelled low-sample rather than given a made-up score — so a number, when you see one, is real.

Compare COSCO against the alliance

COSCO rarely runs a lane alone. Put your origin and destination into the live tool to rank COSCO against every other line on that exact pair by transit time and observed reliability before you book.

Schedule reliability

How much COSCO's published departures moved over the last 90 days — measured from the revisions to their own ETDs, not from a survey. Higher drift means the board shifts more often after it's posted.

COSCO schedules & reliability — FAQ

How reliable is COSCO on my lane?

COSCO's on-time reliability varies by lane, so SchedulesMCP scores it per route from actual versus scheduled arrivals rather than quoting one figure. Enter your origin and destination in the Compare tool to see COSCO's observed on-time percentage and transit time on that exact lane; lanes with too few tracked arrivals are marked early-data instead of guessed.

How do I compare COSCO against other carriers?

Open the Compare tool, enter an origin and destination, and COSCO is ranked side by side with every other carrier on that lane by observed on-time reliability, transit time, next departure and sailing frequency — so you can see before you book whether COSCO or a rival is the better call.

Where do COSCO sailing schedules come from?

COSCO sailings come from COSCO's published schedule API, normalised into the same schedule shape as every other line.

What trades does COSCO cover?

COSCO (COSU) covers global Ocean Alliance trades with especially dense Asia–Europe and transpacific coverage. SchedulesMCP normalises those forward sailings into the same shape as every other line so they rank directly against each other.
