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 25.0 days. This is based on 134 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 20.9–29.0 days (P25–P75 of 156 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Aliaga to Felixstowe is approximately 2,961 nautical miles (5,483 km).
MSC 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 Aliaga to Felixstowe.
Approximately 37.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Aliaga is 9.0 days. Vessel sail time from Aliaga to Felixstowe is 25.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Felixstowe is 3.0 days.
Container shipping from Aliaga to Felixstowe spans approximately 2,961 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,483 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 156 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 134 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Aliaga to Felixstowe with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 25.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 20.9 to 29.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 37.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Aliaga is 9.0 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 Aliaga to Felixstowe is 25.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Felixstowe is 3.0 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 156 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 134 were containers literally booked direct from Aliaga to Felixstowe and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by COSCO also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 25.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 20.9 to 29.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 20.9 to 29.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 8.1-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 9.0 days of gate-in dwell at Aliaga and 3.0 days of gate-out dwell at Felixstowe on top of the chosen sail time.
