What you get for OOCL
- Forward sailings: vessel, voyage, service loop, departure and arrival dates, and cut-offs where OOCL publishes them.
- Coverage: global Ocean Alliance trades as part of the COSCO Shipping group.
- Reliability: once a lane has enough tracked port calls, we score OOCL on actual-vs-scheduled arrival, not on the schedule it published. Thin lanes are shown as low-sample, never guessed.
- Same shape as every line: OOCL reads the same as MSC, Maersk, or any other carrier, so you can rank them side by side.
How OOCL reliability is scored
We don't take a carrier's word for its transit time. When SchedulesMCP has enough tracked arrivals on a OOCL lane, it compares each actual arrival against what was scheduled and reports the observed on-time rate and the median and p90 transit. Lanes without enough observations are labelled low-sample rather than given a made-up score, so a number, when you see one, is real.
Compare OOCL against the alliance
OOCL rarely runs a lane alone. Put your origin and destination into the live tool to rank OOCL against every other line on that exact pair by transit time and observed reliability before you book.

Schedule reliability
How much OOCL's published departures moved over the last 90 days, measured from the revisions to their own ETDs, not from a survey. Higher drift means the board shifts more often after it's posted.
How reliable is OOCL for on-time arrival?
Across 7 lanes and 67 tracked sailings, OOCL ships arrive on schedule about 18% of the time, measured from actual versus forecast arrivals, not the published timetable. It is most reliable on Shanghai → MYWSP (25%), and least reliable on Ningbo → Cát Lái (0%).

How reliable is OOCL on my lane?
OOCL's on-time reliability varies by lane, so SchedulesMCP scores it per route from actual versus scheduled arrivals rather than quoting one figure. Enter your origin and destination in the Compare tool to see OOCL's observed on-time percentage and transit time on that exact lane; lanes with too few tracked arrivals are marked early-data instead of guessed.
How do I compare OOCL against other carriers?
Open the Compare tool, enter an origin and destination, and OOCL is ranked side by side with every other carrier on that lane by observed on-time reliability, transit time, next departure and sailing frequency, so you can see before you book whether OOCL or a rival is the better call.
Where do OOCL sailing schedules come from?
OOCL sailings come from OOCL's published schedule API, normalised into the same schedule shape as every other line.
What trades does OOCL cover?
OOCL (OOLU) covers global Ocean Alliance trades as part of the COSCO Shipping group. SchedulesMCP normalises those forward sailings into the same shape as every other line so they rank directly against each other.
