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 14.3 days. This is based on 49 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 14.3–16.3 days (P25–P75 of 121 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Genova to Barcelona is approximately 368 nautical miles (682 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 Genova to Barcelona.
Approximately 25.6 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Genova is 6.34 days. Vessel sail time from Genova to Barcelona is 14.3 days. The median gate-out dwell at Barcelona is 5.0 days.
Container shipping from Genova to Barcelona spans approximately 368 nautical miles, equivalent to 682 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 121 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 49 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Genova to Barcelona with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 14.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 14.3 to 16.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 25.6 days. Median gate-in dwell at Genova is 6.34 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 Genova to Barcelona is 14.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Barcelona 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 121 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 49 were containers literally booked direct from Genova to Barcelona 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 14.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 14.3 to 16.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 14.3 to 16.3 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 6.34 days of gate-in dwell at Genova and 5.0 days of gate-out dwell at Barcelona on top of the chosen sail time.
