Why does it take a span of 1 month to get from Shanghai to Vancouver? At the avg speed container ships travel, that should only take a little over a week.

- Closi 5y agoLooking at actual sailing schedules, it takes between 17-21 days. http://moc.oocl.com/nj_prs_wss/#/sailing_schedules/search?PREFER_LANGUAGE=en-US&originId=461802935876374&destinationId=461802935875835 http://moc.oocl.com/nj_prs_wss/#/sailing_schedules/search?PR... How are you reaching your 7 day calculation? 7.5k nautical miles at 15-20 knots would be 15-20 days.
