About MSC Schedules

Find departures available for a route and date on MSC schedule on Globy. Simply input the port your shipment departs from, where it needs to go and when you want it to leave, then search for voyages that fit your needs. This allows easier comparison of available options since the results are limited to MSC services, rather than combining schedules from other carriers.

Review the planned dates to see sailing windows for the service with respect to your timeline by going through the respective departure and arrival dates for each available sailing. You can also view the details of the ship and trip that come with sailing.

If there are multiple departures within a time period, you could compare the dates and transit times to choose an option that comes closer to meeting your cargo's delivery timeframe.

MSC vessel schedule compiles most of the required information regarding sea freight planning. The data may include the port of departure, destination port, scheduled date of departure and estimated time of arrival; as well as the name of the vessel, voyage number and expected crossing duration.

The MSC sailing schedule is a useful tool when comparing multiple departures on the same port pair. Move beyond the next departure to take into account not only this but also the entire combination of departure date, arrival date and total transit time.

Schedule data is the estimated vessel movements and is subject to change. Always check the updated schedule before booking.

After identifying an appropriate sailing, use the MSC shipping schedule information for planning your shipment window around the intended departure. Browse the MSC options and choose which sailing works best for your cargo and delivery time.
