Definition
Transit time is the period from loading goods at the port/airport of departure to arrival at the destination port/airport. Maritime transport from China to Europe typically takes 30-45 days (via Suez) or 45-60 days (via Cape of Good Hope). Air freight is 1-3 days, rail (New Silk Road) 15-20 days. Transit time affects supply chain planning, warehousing costs, and safety stock levels.
