🚢 One week — one term
Transit time
To put it simply, this is the time that the cargo spends on the road — from the moment when it was loaded onto the transport to the moment when it arrived at its destination.
Imagine: you ordered a coffee maker from an online store. The store sent an SMS: "Delivery will take 5-7 days." These 5-7 days are the transit time, only on the scale of containers and ships.
In logistics, it can be from a couple of days (if the shipment is within the country) to several weeks (if the container is going from China to Europe by sea).
In general, transit time is like the "ETA" in the navigator, only for sea cargo.
