The routes listed here are the ones published on the Airlift lane guides. Any other two seaports can be checked with the route planner, which asks the live schedule feed for their sailings.
Routes by lane
Pick a lane to see its routes. Each one opens on the 3 busiest routes by published sailings, with the rest a click away. Published transit is the spread across every sailing in the next four weeks. Airlift history is the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments for that lane.

Questions
Where do the sailing dates come from?
From the carriers’ own published sailing schedules, read through the same feed that powers the Airlift vessel schedule and transit-time tools. Each route page shows departures in a four-week window from the date shown on the page, and your browser asks the feed again when you open the page so the list is current.
What is a carrier service?
A carrier service, sometimes called a loop, is a carrier’s fixed round of port calls with a set of ships rotating around it, identified by a short code such as IEX or TP6. Sealanes reads that code from every stop of a published sailing and groups the sailings, ships and port calls under it, so you can see the rhythm your cargo would ride on.
Why does a ship or a service not have its own page?
Pages exist only for carrier services and ships seen on at least three published sailings across the routes Sealanes covers. Below that the record is too thin to be useful, so the name is shown in the sailing table without a link.
How is this different from a carrier’s own schedule search?
It puts every carrier on a route side by side, keeps a dated copy you can cite, and sits next to Airlift’s own transit history, duty tools and quote desk. It is not a booking system and does not show rates.
Which routes are covered?
The routes published on the Airlift shipping-lane guides: the India, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Belgium and Italy lanes to and from the United States and Canada. Any other two seaports can be checked with the route planner, which asks the live schedule feed for their sailings but keeps no dated copy.
Other tools
Where this data comes from
Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules for departures in the next four weeks, and your browser asks the schedule feed again when you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labelled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments for that lane, and the sea lines on the maps are schematic.
Schedules published as of Sep 7. Provided for planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice; confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before booking. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
