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 26.1 days. This is based on 179 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 23.4–27.2 days (P25–P75 of 240 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Antwerp to Ambarli is approximately 3,147 nautical miles (5,828 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Approximately 36.2 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Antwerp is 5.67 days. Vessel sail time from Antwerp to Ambarli is 26.1 days. The median gate-out dwell at Ambarli is 4.46 days.
Container shipping from Antwerp to Ambarli spans approximately 3,147 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,828 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 240 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 179 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Antwerp to Ambarli with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 26.1 days. Most shipments arrive within 23.4 to 27.2 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 36.2 days. Median gate-in dwell at Antwerp is 5.67 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 Antwerp to Ambarli is 26.1 days. Median gate-out dwell at Ambarli is 4.46 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 240 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 179 were containers literally booked direct from Antwerp to Ambarli 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 26.1 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 23.4 to 27.2 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 23.4 to 27.2 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 3.8-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.67 days of gate-in dwell at Antwerp and 4.46 days of gate-out dwell at Ambarli on top of the chosen sail time.
