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 17.8 days. This is based on 198 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 15.8–17.8 days (P25–P75 of 395 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Most shipments arrive within 15.8 to 17.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 28.6 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 Valencia is 17.8 days. Median gate-out dwell at Valencia is 4.8 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 395 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 198 were containers literally booked direct from Damietta to Valencia 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 17.8 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 15.8 to 17.8 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 15.8 to 17.8 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 4.8 days of gate-out dwell at Valencia on top of the chosen sail time.
