Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 483 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 136 were containers literally booked direct from Casablanca to Alicante and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 18.4 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 18.0 to 18.9 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 18.0 to 18.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 0.9-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 12.61 days of gate-in dwell at Casablanca and 2.65 days of gate-out dwell at Alicante on top of the chosen sail time.
