How this is built

Where the numbers come from

Every figure here comes from the carriers' published schedules, read through the same feed as our vessel schedule tool, for 10 Indian ports to 21 US seaports. The snapshot was taken on Oct 16, 2026 and covers departures from Oct 16 to Nov 13, 2026.

The feed lists routing options, so one ship can appear many times. We count one ship leaving one Indian port once, even when several carriers sell space on it or the feed repeats it a day apart. "Sailings" counts that departure once per carrier.

These are schedules, not ship positions: there is no live tracking here, and carriers change ships and dates often. Transit times are port to port and leave out time at the factory, the port and US customs.
