Estimated Time of Arrival

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) in the maritime industry refers to the approximate expected time that a vessel will reach its destination port. It is a crucial factor for effective planning and coordination among shippers, carriers, and port operators. ETA provides an estimation of when the shipment will arrive at the final port, allowing consignees to prepare for the next steps. While ETA serves as a reference point, it is important to note that actual arrival times may vary. The ETA information is used by receivers to track their shipments and by operational teams to optimize delivery schedules and enhance predictability in logistics operations.
