Denmark ocean freight by the numbers
Last updated:
Shipzy samples 27 port-to-port lanes for Denmark, on which 3 ocean carriers publish schedules, connecting 15 countries.
The fastest scheduled transit is 3 days, the median scheduled transit is 40 days, and 9 in 10 sampled sailings complete within 61 days.
3% of the 89 sampled sailings are direct; the remainder route via a transshipment hub.
Figures describe 105 sailings sampled from 3 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, ZIM. They describe the lanes Shipzy samples, not every sailing serving Denmark.
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 3 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 3 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
- Countries connected: Derived from ocean schedules published by 3 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
- Fastest transit: Derived from ocean schedules published by 3 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
- Median transit: Median of 105 scheduled transit times. Median, not mean — a few multi-transshipment routings would distort an average.
- Direct sailings: Share of 89 sampled sailings with no transshipment. Carriers count legs slightly differently, so treat as indicative.
- Named services: Derived from ocean schedules published by 3 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026.
- Vessels seen: Derived from ocean schedules published by 3 carrier APIs, as of 6 April 2026. Counted by vessel name, so spelling variants may inflate this slightly.
