Yantian to Houston — Ocean Freight Schedule & Transit Time

Shippers planning ocean freight from Yantian to Houston will find a well-served direct trans-Pacific lane with around a dozen carriers — including CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, and Maersk — operating port-to-port services between this major South China terminal and the Gulf Coast. Typical transit times run approximately 27 to 34 days, reflecting the longer voyage south through the Pacific and into the Gulf of Mexico compared with West Coast routing. For U.S. importers moving cargo inland from Texas or across the broader Gulf region, this direct connection offers a practical alternative that avoids West Coast port congestion and often reduces drayage distances to key distribution centers in the south-central United States.
