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 63.0 days. This is based on 157 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 61.0–70.0 days (P25–P75 of 161 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Lirquen to Hong Kong is approximately 10,826 nautical miles (20,050 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 Lirquen to Hong Kong.
Approximately 72.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Lirquen is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Lirquen to Hong Kong is 63.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Hong Kong is 2.0 days.
Container shipping from Lirquen to Hong Kong spans approximately 10,826 nautical miles, equivalent to 20,050 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 161 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 157 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Lirquen to Hong Kong with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 63.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 61.0 to 70.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 72.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Lirquen is 7.0 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 Lirquen to Hong Kong is 63.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Hong Kong is 2.0 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 161 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 157 were containers literally booked direct from Lirquen to Hong Kong 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 63.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 61.0 to 70.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 61.0 to 70.0 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 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Lirquen and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Hong Kong on top of the chosen sail time.
