Container Vessel Dwell Time by Carrier – October 2025 Analysis

November 7, 2025

Container Dwell Time Report Overview

This interactive Container Vessel Dwell Time Dashboard analyzes October 2025 carrier-level performance across major global gateways, with an emphasis on Southern California (Port of Long Beach & Port of Los Angeles) and major transshipment hubs (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Shanghai, Busan, Ningbo, Singapore, Savannah). Using the dashboard’s dataset, we measure three operational KPIs, Avg. Waiting (hrs), Avg. Working (hrs) and Total Dwell (hrs = waiting + working),so terminal operators, 3PLs, ocean carriers, and shippers can benchmark performance, reduce demurrage risk, and plan yard/rail resources more effectively.

This report includes data from 10 major ports only. SeaVantage, however, maintains vessel dwell time data across all global container ports. To access the full dataset or request a customized report, please contact us directly.

Top-line findings (October 2025)

1. Longest average port dwell (port-level average dwell): Los Angeles - 87.92 hrs (avg wait 1.07 hrs, avg work 86.85 hrs).

2. Second-highest port dwell: Antwerp - 85.43 hrs (avg wait 44.27 hrs, avg work 41.16 hrs).

3. Lowest average port dwell in the dataset: Busan - 19.20 hrs (avg wait 0.00 hrs, avg work 19.20 hrs).

4. Single worst carrier instance (highest total dwell for a single carrier at a single port): Evergreen Line at Rotterdam - 204.30 hrs total dwell (waiting 97.3 hrs + working 107.0 hrs).

5. Largest recorded waiting time for a single carrier/port: COSCO Shipping at Antwerp - 117.0 hrs waiting (total dwell 151.4 hrs).

6. Shortest single-carrier dwell observed: SITC at Ningbo - 10.20 hrs total dwell (working 10.2 hrs).

These figures are pulled directly from the dashboard’s October 2025 dataset and are displayed in the KPI panels and table. Use the port and carrier filters to replicate these results interactively.

Key operational use cases

Operations & planning: Terminal planning teams can forecast required berth hours and chassis availability by comparing carrier work-time profiles.

Carrier performance benchmarking: 3PLs and shippers can identify carriers with consistently high wait/working times to inform tender and routing decisions.

Commercial negotiations: Use port- and carrier-level evidence to negotiate priority berthing or compensation for prolonged dwell.

Network resilience: Supply chain planners can re-route or re-time sailings around high-dwell gateways to reduce delay risk.

How the dashboard calculates metrics (methodology)

Waiting (hrs) - time the vessel/container spent waiting outside or before active operations at the terminal (recorded per carrier/port).

Working (hrs) - active on-dock operations (stevedoring, container handling) recorded per carrier/port.

Total dwell (hrs) - sum of waiting + working (displayed on the dashboard and used for port averages).

How to use this page (quick guide)

1. Select a Port from the left filter to reveal carrier-level stacked bars (Avg. Waiting and Avg. Working).

2. Optionally select a Shipping Line to compare that carrier across all ports (table view).

3. Use the KPI cards to quickly identify: lowest/highest dwell ports, carrier with highest wait/work, and the single highest/lowest dwell instances.
