Ocean shipping lanes — FAQ

What is an ocean shipping lane?

A shipping lane is a port-to-port route — an origin and a destination — that ocean carriers sail on a repeating schedule. SchedulesMCP tracks the forward sailings, carrier line-up, and median transit time for each lane so you can compare carriers before you book.

How do I find sailing schedules for a lane?

Pick a lane below to see its carriers, sailing count and median transit, or open the Compare tool and enter any origin and destination to rank every carrier on that exact lane by on-time reliability and transit time.

How is transit time on a lane measured?

From the carriers' own forward schedules plus observed port calls. SchedulesMCP reports the median transit for the lane and, per carrier, the observed median and p90 — so you see both the typical and the worst-case duration, not just a marketing estimate.
