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 15.7 days. This is based on 387 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 15.3–16.3 days (P25–P75 of 1,547 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Ashdod to Port Said is approximately 147 nautical miles (272 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 Ashdod to Port Said.
Approximately 29.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Ashdod is 5.0 days. Vessel sail time from Ashdod to Port Said is 15.7 days. The median gate-out dwell at Port Said is 8.33 days.
Container shipping from Ashdod to Port Said spans approximately 147 nautical miles, equivalent to 272 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 1,547 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 387 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Ashdod to Port Said with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 15.7 days. Most shipments arrive within 15.3 to 16.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 29.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Ashdod is 5.0 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 Ashdod to Port Said is 15.7 days. Median gate-out dwell at Port Said is 8.33 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 1,547 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 387 were containers literally booked direct from Ashdod to Port Said 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 15.7 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 15.3 to 16.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 15.3 to 16.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.0 days of gate-in dwell at Ashdod and 8.33 days of gate-out dwell at Port Said on top of the chosen sail time.
