Sailing schedule FAQ

What is a sailing schedule?

A sailing schedule is a carrier's published plan for a vessel service between two ports: when the ship departs the origin (ETD), when it arrives at the destination (ETA), how many days the voyage takes, and which ports it transships at along the way. Panvaya lets you search these point-to-point schedules across several major ocean carriers at once, so you can compare transit time and routing before you book.

Which carriers can I search?

Panvaya searches live point-to-point schedules for MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, COSCO, Ocean Network Express (ONE), Yang Ming and Hapag-Lloyd, with more lines being added. Pick a single carrier or search all of them together and compare the results side by side by transit time, number of transshipments and departure date.

What details does each sailing show?

Every result shows the origin and destination ports with their UN/LOCODEs, the departure and arrival dates, the total transit time, whether the service is direct or how many transshipments it has, the main vessel name, voyage number and IMO, the booking cut-off dates (documentation/SI, VGM and container-yard), an estimated CO2 figure, and a leg-by-leg breakdown you can plot on a map.

Is sailing schedule search free?

Yes. Sailing schedule search is free with a Panvaya account, and creating an account takes a minute with no credit card. Signing in also unlocks container tracking, the demurrage calculator, port congestion and the rest of the toolset on one dashboard.

How far ahead are schedules available?

Schedules are typically available for the next few weeks from your chosen departure date, which is the window carriers publish reliably. Enter an origin and destination port plus a start date, and Panvaya returns the upcoming sailings each carrier is offering on that lane.

Why do transit times differ between carriers on the same route?

Two carriers can quote very different transit times for the same port pair depending on whether the service is direct or routes via a transshipment hub, which alliance and vessel string they use, and how many intermediate port calls the loop makes. Comparing carriers side by side is exactly why schedule search is useful: the fastest option is not always the one you would expect.
