All values are actuals from tracked container records. Paths flagged low n have fewer than 20 records and should be read as directional.
The median transit time is 20.9 days. This is based on 35 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 20.6–21.2 days (P25–P75 of 190 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Algeciras to New York is approximately 3,204 nautical miles (5,934 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
No transshipment paths are present in the tracked dataset for this lane — containers observed move directly from Algeciras to New York.
Approximately 31.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Algeciras is 7.09 days. Vessel sail time from Algeciras to New York is 20.9 days. The median gate-out dwell at New York is 3.5 days.
Container shipping from Algeciras to New York spans approximately 3,204 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,934 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 190 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 35 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Algeciras to New York with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 20.9 days. Most shipments arrive within 20.6 to 21.2 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 31.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Algeciras is 7.09 days, representing the time a container spends at the origin terminal between arrival at the gate and loading onto the vessel. Vessel sail time from Algeciras to New York is 20.9 days. Median gate-out dwell at New York is 3.5 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 190 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 35 were containers literally booked direct from Algeciras to New York and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 20.9 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 20.6 to 21.2 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 20.6 to 21.2 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 0.6-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.09 days of gate-in dwell at Algeciras and 3.5 days of gate-out dwell at New York on top of the chosen sail time.
