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 38.0 days. This is based on 134 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 34.0–46.0 days (P25–P75 of 457 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Damietta to Lome is approximately 5,067 nautical miles (9,383 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
No transshipment paths are present in the tracked dataset for this lane — containers observed move directly from Damietta to Lome.
Approximately 55.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Damietta is 6.0 days. Vessel sail time from Damietta to Lome is 38.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Lome is 11.0 days.
Container shipping from Damietta to Lome spans approximately 5,067 nautical miles, equivalent to 9,383 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 457 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 134 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Damietta to Lome with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 38.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 34.0 to 46.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 55.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Damietta is 6.0 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 Damietta to Lome is 38.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Lome is 11.0 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 457 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 134 were containers literally booked direct from Damietta to Lome 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 38.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 34.0 to 46.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 34.0 to 46.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 12.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Damietta and 11.0 days of gate-out dwell at Lome on top of the chosen sail time.
