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 28.6 days. This is based on 39 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 28.1–29.8 days (P25–P75 of 221 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Container shipping from Izmir to Tanger Med. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 221 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 39 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Izmir to Tanger Med with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 28.6 days. Most shipments arrive within 28.1 to 29.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 45.7 days. Median gate-in dwell at Izmir is 7.24 days, representing the time a container spends at the origin terminal between arrival at the gate and loading onto the vessel.

Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 59 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 39 were containers literally booked direct from Izmir to Tanger Med 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 28.6 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 28.1 to 29.8 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Port Said-routed path takes a median of 33.9 days based on 162 records, with a P25–P75 range of 32.5 to 36.7 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 28.1 to 29.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.7-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.24 days of gate-in dwell at Izmir and 9.88 days of gate-out dwell at Tanger Med on top of the chosen sail time.
