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 25.0 days. This is based on 479 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 24.0–25.0 days (P25–P75 of 502 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Gebze to Felixstowe is approximately 3,130 nautical miles (5,797 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 Gebze to Felixstowe.
Approximately 35.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Gebze is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Gebze to Felixstowe is 25.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Felixstowe is 3.0 days.
Container shipping from Gebze to Felixstowe spans approximately 3,130 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,797 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 502 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 479 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Gebze to Felixstowe with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 25.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 24.0 to 25.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 35.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Gebze is 7.0 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 Gebze to Felixstowe is 25.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Felixstowe is 3.0 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 502 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 479 were containers literally booked direct from Gebze to Felixstowe and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by 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 25.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 24.0 to 25.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 24.0 to 25.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Gebze and 3.0 days of gate-out dwell at Felixstowe on top of the chosen sail time.
