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 20.4 days. This is based on 306 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 19.9–21.3 days (P25–P75 of 944 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 944 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 306 were containers literally booked direct from Fos Sur Mer 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 20.4 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 19.9 to 21.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 19.9 to 21.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.4-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.57 days of gate-in dwell at Fos Sur Mer and 9.88 days of gate-out dwell at Tanger Med on top of the chosen sail time.
