  • Monday: COSCO offers a 29 – day transit, which is relatively quick, while HAPAG has a much longer 63 – 73 – day transit. Shippers can choose based on whether they prioritize speed or potential cost – savings with a longer lead time.
  • Tuesday: ONE has a transit time ranging from 38 – 45 days, and HAPAG has 62 – 72 days. This gives options for mid – week – starting shipments with different time frames.

• LCL (Less – than – Container Load)
  • For smaller – volume shipments, LCL services follow the same transshipment schedules as FCL. By sharing container space with other shippers, it offers a cost – effective solution. Shippers can pick from the available carriers and their transit times based on their delivery requirements and budget constraints.
