International Sea Freight Shipping from China: Busiest Routes

The last couple of decades has seen international shipping companies in China flourish, as the nation has grown to become a major offshore manufacturing center for companies in the West.

As a result, there are few countries left unserved today by ocean trade lanes from China. That said, intra-Asia trade lanes tend to be the busiest of all. The following five ocean routes form some of the most heavily used connections, plied frequently by vessels belonging to China’s international shipping lines, and those sailing under the flags of other Asian nations.

  • Shanghai to Busan (South Korea)
  • Ningbo to Busan
  • Shanghai to Singapore
  • Ningbo to Singapore
  • Ningbo to Port Kelang (Malaysia)

 

Shortest and Longest Transit Times for Shipping from China

If you have freight that needs shipping from China to US destinations, or anywhere in the Americas, you should prepare for some substantial lead times. Consignees on the American continent must endure some of the longest transit times for containers originating in China, with a cargo vessel taking, for example, up to 30 days to travel from the port of Ningbo to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, or from Shanghai to Boston in the United States.

Of course, if you are based in an Asian country and will be receiving an ocean freight shipment from China, you may not have to wait very long at all, with routes from Xiamen to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam or Japan’s Nagoya port taking just three and five days respectively.

Air Freight from China: Some Useful Trade Lane Information

The following information covers some of the main air freight routes for shipping from China. While the information here only covers airport-to-airport services, TJ China Freight also offers port-to-door and door-to-door transportation to locations in 100 countries worldwide.

 

Important International Air Freight Routes from China

If your shipments from China comprise high-value goods or are time-critical, you might want to ask your China freight forwarder to provide you with some quotes for shipping by air. This is of course much faster than ocean shipping, but you should also expect the price to be considerably higher.

Fortunately, availability of flights is good, as freight is shipped using passenger airliners as well as dedicated freighter aircraft. Five of the busiest air freight routes from China are:

  • Shanghai to Frankfurt (Germany)
  • Shanghai to Los Angeles (USA)
  • Shanghai to Singapore
  • Beijing to Tokyo (Japan)
  • Shanghai to London (UK)

 

Air Freight from China: Longest and Shortest Transit Times

Air freight from China to the rest of Asia is very fast, with shipments from Beijing or Shanghai to Seoul in South Korea taking less than two hours. In fact, the longest element of air freight lead times for Asian consignees is made up of the hours (or perhaps days) spent waiting for border formalities to be completed.

Even the transit time from the air cargo terminal to your business premises can take longer than the flight itself, especially if you are located a long way from the destination airport. The opposite will be true though, if you are shipping freight from China to the United States. Routes from Shanghai to Dallas or Chicago are some of the longest, involving flight times of up to 13 hours.
