Christmas Shipping Deadlines Are Here
If you’re importing stock for the Christmas rush, time is running out:
EU to Australia: 55–75 days sailing → Cargo must be on the water within the next 1–3 weeks to arrive before Christmas.
East Coast USA: 45–55 days sailing → Act now to meet deadlines.
Northern China: ~30 days sailing.
Southern China: 15–19 days sailing.
⏳ Services are already booking up fast. Even though Southern China can be as quick as 19 days, we’re seeing vessel availability stretched by up to 1.5 weeks.
🔄 Transhipment delays in Singapore are currently 1–2 weeks — manageable for now, but expected to increase next month as Christmas volumes build.
👉 The message is clear: Get your bookings locked in now if you want your cargo to land in time for Christmas.
