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 57.2 days. This is based on 86 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 50.5–57.7 days (P25–P75 of 153 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Hai Phong to New York is approximately 11,536 nautical miles (21,366 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Ningbo (60.0d total, 34 records); Busan (53.2d total, 27 records).
Approximately 64.7 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Hai Phong is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Hai Phong to New York is 57.2 days. The median gate-out dwell at New York is 3.5 days.
Container shipping from Hai Phong to New York spans approximately 11,536 nautical miles, equivalent to 21,366 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 153 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 86 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Hai Phong to New York with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 57.2 days. Most shipments arrive within 50.5 to 57.7 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 64.7 days. Median gate-in dwell at Hai Phong is 4.0 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 Hai Phong to New York is 57.2 days. Median gate-out dwell at New York is 3.5 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 92 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 86 were containers literally booked direct from Hai Phong to New York and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by MSC and COSCO also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 57.2 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 50.5 to 57.7 days.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Hai Phong and New York. The Ningbo-routed path takes a median of 60.0 days based on 34 records, with a P25–P75 range of 58.4 to 61.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.64 days. The Busan-routed path takes a median of 53.2 days based on 27 records, with a P25–P75 range of 49.9 to 60.0 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.01 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 50.5 to 57.7 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 7.2-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.0 days of gate-in dwell at Hai Phong and 3.5 days of gate-out dwell at New York on top of the chosen sail time.
