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 48.2 days. This is based on 112 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 47.3–50.2 days (P25–P75 of 179 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Hai Phong to Savannah is approximately 11,417 nautical miles (21,144 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Busan (50.7d total, 65 records).
Approximately 55.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Hai Phong is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Hai Phong to Savannah is 48.2 days. The median gate-out dwell at Savannah is 3.32 days.
Container shipping from Hai Phong to Savannah spans approximately 11,417 nautical miles, equivalent to 21,144 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 179 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 112 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Hai Phong to Savannah with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 48.2 days. Most shipments arrive within 47.3 to 50.2 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 55.5 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 Savannah is 48.2 days. Median gate-out dwell at Savannah is 3.32 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 114 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 112 were containers literally booked direct from Hai Phong to Savannah 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 48.2 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 47.3 to 50.2 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Busan-routed path takes a median of 50.7 days based on 65 records, with a P25–P75 range of 47.3 to 57.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.01 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 47.3 to 50.2 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.9-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 3.32 days of gate-out dwell at Savannah on top of the chosen sail time.
