June 25, 2025

Context and Scope of Dwell Time Performance Metrics

This dashboard provides a detailed, data-driven view of average vessel dwell times by shipping line. Dwell time is broken down into two key components—waiting time and working time at berth—offering a clear picture of carrier performance at major global ports.

The current analysis focuses on May 2025, with comparisons to April 2025 (MoM) and May 2024 (YoY) to highlight monthly fluctuations and broader yearly trends.

The analysis centers on six high-traffic international ports: Antwerp, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Rotterdam, Savannah, and Shanghai. SeaVantage maintains vessel dwell time data across all global container ports. If you're interested in accessing the full dataset or customized reports, please feel free to contact us directly.
