Croatia ocean freight by the numbers

Last updated:

Shipzy samples 25 port-to-port lanes for Croatia, on which 2 ocean carriers publish schedules, connecting 14 countries.

The fastest scheduled transit is 19 days, the median scheduled transit is 52 days, and 9 in 10 sampled sailings complete within 64 days.

5% of the 101 sampled sailings are direct; the remainder route via a transshipment hub.

Figures describe 101 sailings sampled from 2 carrier APIs, last refreshed 6 April 2026.

How these numbers are measured

Figures come from the ocean schedule APIs Shipzy integrates with: Hapag-Lloyd, MSC. They describe the lanes Shipzy samples, not every sailing serving Croatia.

The nightly sync sweeps nine global hub ports plus a set of regional template lanes, storing up to three sailings per lane, and refreshes one country per night. So coverage leans towards intercontinental routings, and the as-of date above can be several weeks old for smaller markets.

Transit figures are medians rather than averages, so a few multi-transshipment routings cannot distort them. Cutoff lead times exclude carrier-estimated cutoffs and any lead outside a 0–21 day window. Emissions figures are not published here, because only one carrier reports measured CO2; the rest are modelled from transit time and would restate transit days as emissions.

  • Carriers sampled: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
  • Of global fleet capacity: Sum of each sampled carrier’s share of global container capacity. Describes the carriers, not this country’s market share.
  • Port-to-port lanes: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
  • Countries connected: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
  • Fastest transit: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
  • Median transit: Median of 101 scheduled transit times. Median, not mean — a few multi-transshipment routings would distort an average.
  • Direct sailings: Share of 101 sampled sailings with no transshipment. Carriers count legs slightly differently, so treat as indicative.
  • Named services: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
  • Vessels seen: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026. Counted by vessel name, so spelling variants may inflate this slightly.

Logistics Overview

Croatia is a major maritime gateway for Central and Southeast Europe, strategically located along the Adriatic Sea. It serves as a primary transit hub for landlocked countries like Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Infrastructure Advantage

Croatia's port system is dominated by Rijeka in the north and Ploče in the south. The Rijeka Gateway, operated by APM Terminals, is a new highly automated terminal capable of handling the world's largest container ships. Croatia joined the Schengen Area in 2023.
