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 29.0 days. This is based on 182 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 26.5–30.0 days (P25–P75 of 250 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Antwerp to Paranagua is approximately 5,601 nautical miles (10,372 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 Antwerp to Paranagua.
Approximately 38.3 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Antwerp is 5.67 days. Vessel sail time from Antwerp to Paranagua is 29.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Paranagua is 3.66 days.
Container shipping from Antwerp to Paranagua spans approximately 5,601 nautical miles, equivalent to 10,372 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 250 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 182 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Antwerp to Paranagua with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 29.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 26.5 to 30.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 38.3 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 Paranagua is 29.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Paranagua is 3.66 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 250 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 182 were containers literally booked direct from Antwerp to Paranagua and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by MSC also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 29.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 26.5 to 30.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 26.5 to 30.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 3.5-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.67 days of gate-in dwell at Antwerp and 3.66 days of gate-out dwell at Paranagua on top of the chosen sail time.
