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 27.0 days. This is based on 140 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 25.7–27.6 days (P25–P75 of 361 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Castellon (49.7d total, 42 records); Castellon > Algeciras (54.2d total, 34 records); Algeciras (31.9d total, 21 records).
Approximately 49.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Casablanca is 12.61 days. Vessel sail time from Casablanca to Tanger Med is 27.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Tanger Med is 9.88 days.
Container shipping from Casablanca to Tanger Med. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 361 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 140 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Casablanca to Tanger Med with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 27.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 25.7 to 27.6 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 49.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Casablanca is 12.61 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 Casablanca to Tanger Med is 27.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Tanger Med is 9.88 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 264 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 140 were containers literally booked direct from Casablanca to Tanger Med 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 27.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 25.7 to 27.6 days.
3 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Casablanca and Tanger Med. The Castellon-routed path takes a median of 49.7 days based on 42 records, with a P25–P75 range of 45.7 to 53.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 17.37 days. The Castellon and Algeciras-routed path takes a median of 54.2 days based on 34 records, with a P25–P75 range of 51.5 to 59.2 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 17.37 days. The Algeciras-routed path takes a median of 31.9 days based on 21 records, with a P25–P75 range of 30.2 to 34.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 4.54 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 25.7 to 27.6 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.9-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 12.61 days of gate-in dwell at Casablanca and 9.88 days of gate-out dwell at Tanger Med on top of the chosen sail time.
