How these numbers are measured
Figures come from the ocean schedule APIs Shipzy integrates with: CMA CGM, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, Maersk, ONE, ZIM. They describe the lanes Shipzy samples, not every sailing serving Poland.
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 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 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 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 2026.
Countries connected: Derived from ocean schedules published by 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 2026.
Fastest transit: Derived from ocean schedules published by 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 2026.
Median transit: Median of 369 scheduled transit times. Median, not mean — a few multi-transshipment routings would distort an average.
Direct sailings: Share of 369 sampled sailings with no transshipment. Carriers count legs slightly differently, so treat as indicative.
Named services: Derived from ocean schedules published by 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 2026.
Vessels seen: Derived from ocean schedules published by 7 carrier APIs, as of 10 October 2026. Counted by vessel name, so spelling variants may inflate this slightly.
Logistics Overview
Poland is the undisputed logistics heart of Central and Eastern Europe. It boasts the only deep-water terminal in the Baltic Sea capable of handling the world's largest container vessels and serves as the primary EU entry point for the "New Silk Road" rail corridor from China.
Infrastructure Advantage
The Port of Gdańsk (Baltic Hub) is the largest container port in the Baltic Sea and the only one receiving direct calls from Asia. Małaszewicze serves as the "main gate" for the New Silk Road, where 90% of Silk Road rail traffic enters the EU.
