Finland ocean freight by the numbers

Last updated:

Shipzy samples 17 port-to-port lanes for Finland, on which 2 ocean carriers publish schedules, connecting 7 countries.

The fastest scheduled transit is 2 days, the median scheduled transit is 41 days, and 9 in 10 sampled sailings complete within 61 days.

15% of the 80 sampled sailings are direct; the remainder route via a transshipment hub.

The VGM cutoff falls a median of 2 days before departure, across 38 sampled sailings.

Figures describe 80 sailings sampled from 2 carrier APIs, last refreshed 13 September 2026.

How these numbers are measured

Figures come from the ocean schedule APIs Shipzy integrates with: CMA CGM, COSCO. They describe the lanes Shipzy samples, not every sailing serving Finland.

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 13 September 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 13 September 2026.
  • Countries connected: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 13 September 2026.
  • Fastest transit: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 13 September 2026.
  • Median transit: Median of 80 scheduled transit times. Median, not mean — a few multi-transshipment routings would distort an average.
  • Direct sailings: Share of 80 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 13 September 2026.
  • Vessels seen: Derived from ocean schedules published by 2 carrier APIs, as of 13 September 2026. Counted by vessel name, so spelling variants may inflate this slightly.
