Times are estimates and may vary based on route and port conditions.

Most common factors affecting shipment duration.

Port congestion
A terminal loads in the order bookings arrive. In heavy traffic a car waits for the next open sailing.
Yard pickup
The auction yard releases a vehicle once payment clears, and only within its own opening hours.
Customs inspection
Customs can pull a shipment for inspection or ask for document corrections before releasing it.
Weather and season
Storms and seasonal peaks change vessel rotations and lengthen the queue at the terminal.
