What are lead times?

Lead times at Cela Va Sans Petroleum can vary depending on several factors, including the type of product, quantity, transportation mode, and location. Here is an overview of typical lead times across our services:

1. Product Availability

Crude Oil & Refined Products: If the required products are readily available in our storage facilities, lead times can range from 1 to 3 days for local deliveries, especially for domestic customers in the U.S. or Kazakhstan.
For international shipments, the lead time typically extends to 7 to 14 days depending on the destination and transport method.

2. Transportation Mode

Marine Shipping: For overseas shipping (e.g., from Houston to Singapore or Europe), lead times usually fall between 2 to 6 weeks depending on the distance and shipping routes.
Rail and Pipeline: Lead times for rail or pipeline transportation within regions like North America or Eurasia typically range from 5 to 10 days.
Truck Deliveries: For short-haul deliveries by road, lead times are often 1 to 3 days within the same country or region.

3. Customs & Regulatory Compliance

International shipments may experience longer lead times, typically 7 to 14 days extra, due to customs clearance, especially when exporting to countries with strict regulatory requirements like China or the European Union.

4. Storage Access and Scheduling

If storage space or product is already reserved and logistics are pre-arranged, lead times can be reduced. However, for newly booked orders, particularly for large volumes, it may take 7 to 10 days to arrange storage, loading, and transportation.

5. Weather and External Factors

Lead times can be affected by external factors such as adverse weather conditions, port congestion, or global supply chain disruptions. These factors can add several days to weeks to the estimated delivery time.
