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 21.0 days. This is based on 151 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 20.0–22.0 days (P25–P75 of 157 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Damietta to Thames is approximately 3,245 nautical miles (6,010 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 Thames.
Approximately 31.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Damietta is 6.0 days. Vessel sail time from Damietta to Thames is 21.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Thames is 4.0 days.
Container shipping from Damietta to Thames spans approximately 3,245 nautical miles, equivalent to 6,010 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 157 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 151 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Damietta to Thames with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 21.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 20.0 to 22.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 31.0 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 Thames is 21.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Thames is 4.0 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 157 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 151 were containers literally booked direct from Damietta to Thames 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 21.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 20.0 to 22.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 20.0 to 22.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Damietta and 4.0 days of gate-out dwell at Thames on top of the chosen sail time.
