How these numbers are measured
Figures come from the ocean schedule APIs Shipzy integrates with: CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, Maersk. They describe the lanes Shipzy samples, not every sailing serving Nigeria.
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 4 carrier APIs, as of 21 May 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.
- Countries connected: Derived from ocean schedules published by 4 carrier APIs, as of 21 May 2026.
- Named services: Derived from ocean schedules published by 4 carrier APIs, as of 21 May 2026.
- Vessels seen: Derived from ocean schedules published by 4 carrier APIs, as of 21 May 2026. Counted by vessel name, so spelling variants may inflate this slightly.
