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 39.5 days. This is based on 103 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 35.5–44.5 days (P25–P75 of 141 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Haifa to New York is approximately 5,203 nautical miles (9,637 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Port Said > Tanger Med (38.1d total, 35 records).
Approximately 47.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Haifa is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Haifa to New York is 39.5 days. The median gate-out dwell at New York is 3.5 days.
Container shipping from Haifa to New York spans approximately 5,203 nautical miles, equivalent to 9,637 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 141 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 103 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Haifa to New York with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 39.5 days. Most shipments arrive within 35.5 to 44.5 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 47.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Haifa 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 Haifa to New York is 39.5 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 106 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 103 were containers literally booked direct from Haifa to New York and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by 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 39.5 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 35.5 to 44.5 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Port Said and Tanger Med-routed path takes a median of 38.1 days based on 35 records, with a P25–P75 range of 35.6 to 42.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 35.5 to 44.5 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 9.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.0 days of gate-in dwell at Haifa and 3.5 days of gate-out dwell at New York on top of the chosen sail time.
