There is a significant difference in shipping time between ordinary ships (general ships) and express ships. The following is a detailed comparison of the shipping time between the two:
Carrying capacity
Ordinary ship (general ship):
Large carrying capacity, up to 10,000 TEU or even more
Express ship: Small carrying capacity, usually 3000-4000 TEU
Transportation time
Ordinary ship (general ship):
Relatively long, the time from sailing to picking up the cabinet is about 14-27 days, some say 25-35 days
Express ship: Relatively short, usually arrive at the destination port about 11 days after sailing, some information indicates that the express ship transportation time is 13 to 16 days, or 17-20 days
Route transit
Ordinary ship (general ship): requires multiple transfers and stops
Express ship: uses a direct route mode, with fewer ports to stop at
Unloading speed
Ordinary ship (general ship): Slower, may take 3 days or even longer
Express ship: Faster, generally only 1-2 days to complete unloading
In summary, the shipping time of express ships is significantly better than that of ordinary ships, but the price is also relatively high. Therefore, when choosing, you need to consider the specific needs of the goods, the cost budget, and the requirements for timeliness.
