Transshipment connection time is the time interval between the arrival of a shipment at a transshipment facility and its departure with the next leg of transport. This window includes the actual handling process (unloading, sorting, reloading), buffer time for inspections, customs clearance or document processing, and any temporary storage. The duration directly reflects terminal operational efficiency and the readiness of the subsequent carrier to depart on schedule.
