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 14.0 days. This is based on 133 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 13.4–15.7 days (P25–P75 of 366 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven is approximately 345 nautical miles (638 km).
Maersk 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 Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven.
Approximately 24.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Goteborg is 5.14 days. Vessel sail time from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven is 14.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Wilhelmshaven is 5.4 days.
Container shipping from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven spans approximately 345 nautical miles, equivalent to 638 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 366 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 133 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 14.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 13.4 to 15.7 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 24.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Goteborg is 5.14 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 Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven is 14.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Wilhelmshaven is 5.4 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 366 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 133 were containers literally booked direct from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 14.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 13.4 to 15.7 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 13.4 to 15.7 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.3-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.14 days of gate-in dwell at Goteborg and 5.4 days of gate-out dwell at Wilhelmshaven on top of the chosen sail time.
