There are generally three types of lead times:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Material lead time:</strong> This is more relevant to supplier relationships. It’s the time between placing the order for raw material and finally receiving it.</li> <li><strong>Production lead time:</strong> This one’s based on internal processes. It’s the time the manufacturer takes to finish producing goods once raw materials arrive.</li> <li><strong>Customer lead time:</strong> This is the time taken after the order is received and till it arrives at the customer’s doorstep. It includes all intermediary processes like production, shipping, storage, and delivery.</li> </ul> <p>In spot shipping, we are concerned with customer lead times — primarily, the time it takes for a shipment to reach its final destination right after booking.</p> </div> </div> <a class="p-section__accordion__header " aria-controls="acc-content-8b5941bdf922417182de35e338c92832-2" aria-expanded="false"> <div class="icon p-section__accordion__header__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewbox="0 0 20 20"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M8.46 12.624L4.61 7.812l.78-.625L9.24 12h1.52l3.85-4.813.78.625-3.85 4.812a1 1 0 0 1-.78.376H9.24a1 1 0 0 1-.78-.376z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg></div>What does lead time depend on? </a> <div class="p-section__accordion__content " aria-hidden="true" id="acc-content-8b5941bdf922417182de35e338c92832-2"> <div class="rich-text p-page__section__child p-page__section__child--small " data-deep-link="RichText" data-r-name="Rich Text" data-r-ds="Rich Text"> <p>Several factors can impact lead time during shipping.

This is especially true for international shipping, where customs clearance procedures can add additional time.</li> <li><strong>Order complexity:</strong> Bulky or heavy items, perishable goods, or those requiring special handling will take longer to ship compared to standard packages.</li> <li><strong>Customs clearance: </strong>For international shipments, customs clearance procedures can significantly increase the lead time. The complexity of the paperwork and the efficiency of the customs agency involved can both impact this.</li> <li><strong>Unforeseen events:</strong> Instances beyond human control, like natural disasters or pandemics, can disrupt transportation networks and cause significant delays.</li> </ul> <p><strong>READ MORE:</strong> <a href="https://www.maersk.com/logistics-explained/transportation-and-freight/2023/08/28/cargo-delays">Top 9 reasons for shipping delays</a></p> <h4>Should you care about lead time delays as a business?</h4> <p>Yes.

Here are some strategies you can employ:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Be flexible with transportation modes:</strong> While ocean freight might be the most cost-effective option, consider intermodal transportation options, like <a href="https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2023/11/15/booking-inland-freight">ocean and inland</a> together, if they reduce the lead time and provide potentially faster delivery.</li> <li><strong>Plan ahead when possible:</strong> Even in spot shipping, some planning can help. If you anticipate faster shipping or shorter lead time for specific shipments, pre-arrange quotes with carriers to save time. Also, focus on forming long-term partnerships with a single carrier who understands your needs and promptly provides the required services.</li> <li><strong>Prioritize communication:</strong> Clear and timely communication with carriers and other stakeholders is essential.

Why is it called lead time?</h4> <p>It’s called lead time because it represents the time required to “lead up” to the final delivery of the shipment to the customer or consignee.</p> <h4>2. Should I consider spot rates when calculating lead time?</h4> <p>Definitely. When estimating lead time, it’s wise to factor in a buffer for potential delays caused by securing a spot carrier, especially if the shipment is time sensitive.</p> <h4>3. What factors can extend the lead time when using spot shipping?</h4> <p>In addition to the time it takes to <a href="https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2024/03/05/maersk-spot-booking">book a spot shipment</a>, customs clearance delays or unexpected weather events can disrupt even the most meticulously planned spot shipment.</p> <h4>4. How far ahead do I need to book my shipment for Maersk Spot?</h4> <p>Booking as far ahead as possible is always best, but it will at least need to be far ahead enough to meet the stated deadlines in order to successfully sail.</p> <h4>5. How much buffer time should I add to my lead time when using spot shipping?</h4> <p>This depends on the urgency of your shipment and the volatility of the spot market. A good rule of thumb is to add 10-20% extra time to your lead time to account for potential delays.</p> <h4>6. How do I know the transit time between ports when spot shipping?</h4> <p>You can visit the <a href="https://www.maersk.com/schedules/pointToPoint">schedules page</a> for your required routing.</p> <h4>7. I need to make changes to my Maersk Spot booking. How will it affect my lead time?</h4> <p>Depending on the changes you need to make, amending your booking can delay (or advance) your overall shipment departure and arrival times, if the original timeline can no longer be met.</p> <h4>8. What happens to my freight’s lead time if I don’t have complete documents?</h4> <p>In such cases, we won’t be able to load your spot freight on the vessel until the documentation is accurate and complete. This will, by extension, increase your shipment’s lead time.</p> <h4>9. I need to submit shipping instructions (SIs) for my Maersk Spot shipment. Will that increase my lead time?</h4> <p>Whoever is responsible for sending the shipping instructions, you’ll have visibility to the deadline for doing so. Make sure to meet this deadline in order to ensure successful sailing as intended. Wanna know how to add shipping instructions to your Maersk Spot booking? <a href="https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2024/03/05/spot-amendment">Click here.</a></p> <h4>10. If there’s a default on my part as a shipper, how will it affect my cargo’s lead time?</h4> <p>If your spot freight is not loaded due to a problem/issue on your part — like incorrect paperwork, non-compliance with container weight limits, or late delivery to port — you need to correct the defaults first. In most cases, we will try to accommodate your container on the next vessel with available space. By extension, the lead time will increase accordingly. We might recalculate the charges for your spot shipment.</p> </div> </div> <footer class="p-section__accordion__footer"></footer> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="p-page__section theme--light " data-deep-link="RelatedNewsCarousel" data-r-name="Related News Carousel"> <div class="p-page__section__outer"> <div class="p-page__section__inner "> <div class="p-section__related-articles "> <div class="p-section__related-articles__header"> <h2 class="font--display-2 p-section__related-articles__title"> Related articles </h2> <a href="/insights/filter?matchAll=false&category=Digitalisation&tag=Digitalisation,Technology,Supply%20Chain%20Management,Expert%20opinion,Lead%20time" class="button p-section__news__more-news button--tertiary"> See all </a> </div> <div class="p-section__related-articles__slides"> <div class="carousel carousel--3 carousel--active carousel--hint" data-toggle="carousel-related-articles" data-max="3"> <button class="carousel__nav carousel__nav--previous" tabindex="-1"> Previous <div class="icon carousel__nav__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M5.336 10.977l4.332-3.851.664.747L6 11.724V12h13v1H6v.275l4.332 3.851-.664.747-4.332-3.85A1 1 0 0 1 5 13.275v-1.55a1 1 0 0 1 .336-.748z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg></div> </button> <button class="carousel__nav carousel__nav--next" tabindex="-1"> Next <div class="icon carousel__nav__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M18 11.724l-4.332-3.85.664-.748 4.332 3.85a1 1 0 0 1 .336.748v1.551a1 1 0 0 1-.336.748l-4.332 3.85-.664-.747L18 13.276V13H5v-1h13v-.276z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg></div> </button> <div class="carousel__slides"> <div class="carousel__mask carousel__mask--left"></div> <div class="carousel__mask carousel__mask--right"></div> <div class="carousel__runner"> <div class="carousel__slide"> <div class="p-section__related-articles__slide"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser__content"> <a href="/insights/sustainability" class="p-section__news__teaser__category p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> Sustainability </a> <a href="/insights/sustainability/2025/02/12/decarbonisation-critical-step-towards-retail-success" class="font--display-1 p-section__news__teaser__title p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> <span class="p-section__news__teaser__title__line" title="Decarbonisation: A critical step towards retail success" truncate=""> Decarbonisation: A critical step towards retail success </span> </a> <div href="/insights/sustainability/2025/02/12/decarbonisation-critical-step-towards-retail-success" class="p-section__news__teaser__timestamp p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> 12 Feb 2025 </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel__slide"> <div class="p-section__related-articles__slide"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser__content"> <a href="/insights/digitalisation" class="p-section__news__teaser__category p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> Digitalisation </a> <a href="/insights/digitalisation/2025/02/04/cold-chain-logistics-meeting-time-sensitive-needs" class="font--display-1 p-section__news__teaser__title p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> <span class="p-section__news__teaser__title__line" title="Cold chain logistics: meeting time-sensitive needs" truncate=""> Cold chain logistics: meeting time-sensitive needs </span> </a> <div href="/insights/digitalisation/2025/02/04/cold-chain-logistics-meeting-time-sensitive-needs" class="p-section__news__teaser__timestamp p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> 04 Feb 2025 </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="carousel__slide"> <div class="p-section__related-articles__slide"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser"> <div class="p-section__news__teaser__content"> <a href="/insights/integrated-logistics" class="p-section__news__teaser__category p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> Integrated logistics </a> <a href="/insights/integrated-logistics/2025/01/20/get-ready-here-are-all-the-trends-in-logistics-for-2025" class="font--display-1 p-section__news__teaser__title p-section__news__teaser__content__child"> <span class="p-section__news__teaser__title__line" title="Get ready!
