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 28.0 days. This is based on 257 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 27.0–28.0 days (P25–P75 of 531 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Coronel to Colon is approximately 2,929 nautical miles (5,424 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Rodman (32.0d total, 53 records).
Approximately 41.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Coronel is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Coronel to Colon is 28.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Colon is 6.0 days.
Container shipping from Coronel to Colon spans approximately 2,929 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,424 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 531 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 257 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Coronel to Colon with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 28.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 27.0 to 28.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 41.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Coronel is 7.0 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 Coronel to Colon is 28.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Colon is 6.0 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 478 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 257 were containers literally booked direct from Coronel to Colon 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 28.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 27.0 to 28.0 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Rodman-routed path takes a median of 32.0 days based on 53 records, with a P25–P75 range of 29.0 to 36.0 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 4.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 27.0 to 28.0 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 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Coronel and 6.0 days of gate-out dwell at Colon on top of the chosen sail time.
