 ② Directly from Shanghai to Oakland port in Northern California, the sea transportation time is 12 days; Ningbo to Oakland is 14 days.

 ③ Vessels of CCX route depart for Long Beach on the 2nd day after arriving in Oakland and arrive at Long Beach on the 3rd day. So the shipping time from Shanghai to Long Beach port in Southern California is 15 days; Ningbo to Long Beach is 17 days.

 ④ The docking terminal is Matson's special terminal. No matter it is Oakland docking or Long Beach port docking. Both are at Matson's dedicated terminal. Not a shared pier.

There is no clear official explanation for the discontinue of Matson CCX, and part of the speculation is that it is due to the COVID-19 combined with the international influence, causes a high percentage of blank sailing.


However, Matson can choose to discontinue of Matson CCX, it proves that the current capacity of the routes owned is enough to stabilize the market, which may also be the first step for Matson to stabilize the freight rate.

A Guide to Shipping from China to USA

In this article, I'll give an overview of ocean shipping, along with the step-by-step instructions needed to arrange ocean shipping and actually receive the shipment. Air freight/air express is reasonable when ordering samples The first thing to consider with sea freight is whether you are actually better off shipping by air or air express. There are some notable differences between air freight and air express that we discuss in this article. But the general rule of thumb is that for shipments under 200kg, it is almost always cheaper and more convenient to ship via some form of air freight as opposed to sea freight. Air freight rates typically range from $5/kg to $10/kg, but without the high fixed costs common to sea freight. How much is the sea freight cost?

3PL Fulfillment & eCommerce Logistics Services for B2B

The B2B aspect of these shipments also applies for smaller orders. You might just get a few cases of sanitizer or offic...
