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 36.5 days, based on 148 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 33.5–39.5 days (P25–P75 of 148 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Vessel sail time from Brisbane to Singapore is 36.5 days. Median gate-out dwell at Singapore is 0.21 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Brisbane and Singapore. The Melbourne-routed path takes a median of 36.5 days based on 82 records, with a P25–P75 range of 33.5 to 39.5 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. The Sydney-routed path takes a median of 34.5 days based on 66 records, with a P25–P75 range of 31.5 to 39.5 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 33.5 to 39.5 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 6.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.31 days of gate-in dwell at Brisbane and 0.21 days of gate-out dwell at Singapore on top of the chosen sail time.
