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 16.3 days. This is based on 191 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 16.3–17.3 days (P25–P75 of 382 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro is approximately 1,074 nautical miles (1,989 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 Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro.
Approximately 27.6 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Iskenderun is 6.34 days. Vessel sail time from Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro is 16.3 days. The median gate-out dwell at Gioia Tauro is 5.0 days.
Container shipping from Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro spans approximately 1,074 nautical miles, equivalent to 1,989 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 382 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 191 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 16.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 16.3 to 17.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 27.6 days. Median gate-in dwell at Iskenderun 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 Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro is 16.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Gioia Tauro is 5.0 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 382 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 191 were containers literally booked direct from Iskenderun to Gioia Tauro and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 16.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 16.3 to 17.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 16.3 to 17.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.34 days of gate-in dwell at Iskenderun and 5.0 days of gate-out dwell at Gioia Tauro on top of the chosen sail time.
