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 23.0 days. This is based on 76 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 22.0–26.0 days (P25–P75 of 174 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Gebze to Sines is approximately 2,075 nautical miles (3,843 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Malaga (32.0d total, 22 records).
Approximately 35.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Gebze is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Gebze to Sines is 23.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Sines is 5.0 days.
Container shipping from Gebze to Sines spans approximately 2,075 nautical miles, equivalent to 3,843 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 174 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 76 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Gebze to Sines with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 23.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 22.0 to 26.0 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 Sines is 23.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Sines is 5.0 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 152 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 76 were containers literally booked direct from Gebze to Sines 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 23.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 22.0 to 26.0 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Malaga-routed path takes a median of 32.0 days based on 22 records, with a P25–P75 range of 31.0 to 33.0 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 22.0 to 26.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 4.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Gebze and 5.0 days of gate-out dwell at Sines on top of the chosen sail time.
