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 59.3 days. This is based on 122 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 58.2–60.3 days (P25–P75 of 143 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Koper to Ningbo is approximately 8,567 nautical miles (15,867 km).
Maersk 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 Koper to Ningbo.
Approximately 67.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Koper is 5.8 days. Vessel sail time from Koper to Ningbo is 59.3 days. The median gate-out dwell at Ningbo is 1.86 days.
Container shipping from Koper to Ningbo spans approximately 8,567 nautical miles, equivalent to 15,867 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 143 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 122 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Koper to Ningbo with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 59.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 58.2 to 60.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 67.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Koper is 5.8 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 Koper to Ningbo is 59.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Ningbo is 1.86 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 143 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 122 were containers literally booked direct from Koper to Ningbo and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by COSCO and MSC also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 59.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 58.2 to 60.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 58.2 to 60.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.1-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.8 days of gate-in dwell at Koper and 1.86 days of gate-out dwell at Ningbo on top of the chosen sail time.
