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 46.0 days. This is based on 108 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 42.9–52.4 days (P25–P75 of 489 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Gdansk to Singapore is approximately 9,188 nautical miles (17,015 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Bremerhaven (61.5d total, 238 records); Antwerp (63.9d total, 27 records).
Approximately 52.4 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Gdansk is 6.22 days. Vessel sail time from Gdansk to Singapore is 46.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Singapore is 0.21 days.
Container shipping from Gdansk to Singapore spans approximately 9,188 nautical miles, equivalent to 17,015 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 489 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 108 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Gdansk to Singapore with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 46.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 42.9 to 52.4 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 52.4 days. Median gate-in dwell at Gdansk is 6.22 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 Gdansk to Singapore is 46.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Singapore is 0.21 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 224 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 108 were containers literally booked direct from Gdansk to Singapore and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by COSCO and Maersk also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 46.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 42.9 to 52.4 days.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Gdansk and Singapore. The Bremerhaven-routed path takes a median of 61.5 days based on 238 records, with a P25–P75 range of 56.6 to 65.2 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 4.86 days. The Antwerp-routed path takes a median of 63.9 days based on 27 records, with a P25–P75 range of 58.6 to 76.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 42.9 to 52.4 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 9.5-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.22 days of gate-in dwell at Gdansk and 0.21 days of gate-out dwell at Singapore on top of the chosen sail time.
