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 16.6 days. This is based on 46 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 15.1–17.6 days (P25–P75 of 99 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Genova to Valencia is approximately 523 nautical miles (969 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 Valencia.
Approximately 27.7 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Genova is 6.34 days. Vessel sail time from Genova to Valencia is 16.6 days. The median gate-out dwell at Valencia is 4.8 days.
Container shipping from Genova to Valencia spans approximately 523 nautical miles, equivalent to 969 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 99 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 46 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Genova to Valencia with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 16.6 days. Most shipments arrive within 15.1 to 17.6 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 27.7 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 Valencia is 16.6 days. Median gate-out dwell at Valencia is 4.8 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 99 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 46 were containers literally booked direct from Genova to Valencia 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 16.6 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 15.1 to 17.6 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 15.1 to 17.6 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.5-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.34 days of gate-in dwell at Genova and 4.8 days of gate-out dwell at Valencia on top of the chosen sail time.
