Know before you ship: transit times that fit your plan

When you don’t know how long your container will take to arrive, your entire supply chain is at risk. Traditional shipping time calculators by sea often rely on ideal scenarios—not real-time operations.

Cargo owners need dependable insights into port-to-port shipping transit times, especially when managing tight delivery windows, coordinating across supply chain nodes, or navigating complex shortsea schedules.

With Routescanner, you get more than a generic sea freight transit time calculator. You gain access to operator-specific, route-level data that reflects both scheduled and historical performance. Our platform shows transit time between ports for all relevant modalities—sea, inland waterways, rail, and road—giving you end-to-end control.

Whether it’s a major ocean lane or a regional shortsea route, you can compare durations across carriers and legs.
