Transit times in shipping are rather uncertain, often fluctuating due to external factors.<\/p>\n\n

For this reason, and in order to ensure that all goods arrive at their final destination on time, it is essential to monitor the entire shipping process, anticipate unforeseen events that may arise and know how to overcome them. Because the more information we have, the greater the reliability of the transport and the forecast regarding the transit time.<\/p>\n\n

But, after all, do you really know this term?<\/p>\n\n

Transit time consists of the time spent moving goods between point A and point B. That is, the time interval between the collection of goods at a point of departure until their arrival and their delivery at a point of destination <\/p>\n\n

Transit time may vary between minutes, hours, days, weeks and even months, depending on several factors. And which are they?<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Weather Conditions<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Roads Cut and\/or Inaccessible<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Available Space<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Accidents<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Poor Route Planning<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Product Requirements (e.g. Refrigeration\/Hazardous Materials)<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Holidays (e.g. Chinese New Year, July 4)<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Inadequate Handling Equipment<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Breakdown of Equipment<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Port Congestion<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Documentation Errors or Discrepancies<\/p>\n\n

Transit time is an important factor for all companies that purchase raw materials or finished products on a daily basis and intend to transport them to a certain final destination. Often, as long as these items are not received, the company will not be able to operate or fulfill its commitments.<\/p>\n\n
