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 74.5 days. This is based on 164 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 73.0–77.0 days (P25–P75 of 243 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Busan to Tekirdag is approximately 8,452 nautical miles (15,653 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Approximately 85.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Busan is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Busan to Tekirdag is 74.5 days. The median gate-out dwell at Tekirdag is 7.0 days.
Container shipping from Busan to Tekirdag spans approximately 8,452 nautical miles, equivalent to 15,653 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 243 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 164 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Busan to Tekirdag with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 74.5 days. Most shipments arrive within 73.0 to 77.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 85.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Busan is 4.0 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 Busan to Tekirdag is 74.5 days. Median gate-out dwell at Tekirdag is 7.0 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 243 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 164 were containers literally booked direct from Busan to Tekirdag 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 74.5 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 73.0 to 77.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 73.0 to 77.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 4.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.0 days of gate-in dwell at Busan and 7.0 days of gate-out dwell at Tekirdag on top of the chosen sail time.
