Ocean shipping transit times vary widely depending on several factors, mainly:

• The time spent on water and the time shipments take from door-to-door are different. When shipping worldwide, there are a lot of steps the goods go through before they reach the vessel and when they leave the vessel – for example, preparing shipping documentation, clearing customs, and loading or unloading goods.
• Transit times for sea freight also depend on the origin and destination of the cargo because the geography of your freight affects transit times.

Overall, sea freight shipping can range from 20-45 days. In peak seasons, it can take longer depending on disruptions and surge in demand.
