Container shipping from Antwerp to Mundra spans approximately 6,327 nautical miles, equivalent to 11,718 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 515 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 121 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Antwerp to Mundra with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 47.7 days. Most shipments arrive within 42.7 to 51.7 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 55.4 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 Mundra is 47.7 days. Median gate-out dwell at Mundra is 2.0 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 465 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 121 were containers literally booked direct from Antwerp to Mundra and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 47.7 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 42.7 to 51.7 days.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Antwerp and Mundra. The Tanger Med-routed path takes a median of 53.0 days based on 30 records, with a P25–P75 range of 50.4 to 65.3 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 4.69 days. The Salalah-routed path takes a median of 50.1 days based on 20 records, with a P25–P75 range of 46.9 to 52.3 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 42.7 to 51.7 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 9.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.67 days of gate-in dwell at Antwerp and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Mundra on top of the chosen sail time.
