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 86.1 days. This is based on 26 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 86.1–86.1 days (P25–P75 of 258 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Long Beach to Jakarta is approximately 8,034 nautical miles (14,878 km).
COSCO line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Singapore (49.4d total, 120 records); Ningbo > Singapore (63.1d total, 73 records); Vung Tau > Singapore (55.0d total, 35 records).
Approximately 95.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Long Beach is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Long Beach to Jakarta is 86.1 days. The median gate-out dwell at Jakarta is 2.44 days.
Container shipping from Long Beach to Jakarta spans approximately 8,034 nautical miles, equivalent to 14,878 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 258 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 26 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Long Beach to Jakarta with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 86.1 days. Most shipments arrive within 86.1 to 86.1 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 95.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Long Beach 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 Long Beach to Jakarta is 86.1 days. Median gate-out dwell at Jakarta is 2.44 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 30 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 26 were containers literally booked direct from Long Beach to Jakarta and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. COSCO operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by 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 86.1 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 86.1 to 86.1 days.
3 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Long Beach and Jakarta. The Singapore-routed path takes a median of 49.4 days based on 120 records, with a P25–P75 range of 47.4 to 52.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. The Ningbo and Singapore-routed path takes a median of 63.1 days based on 73 records, with a P25–P75 range of 56.1 to 73.1 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.64 days. The Vung Tau and Singapore-routed path takes a median of 55.0 days based on 35 records, with a P25–P75 range of 49.3 to 58.0 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 3.57 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 86.1 to 86.1 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 0.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Long Beach and 2.44 days of gate-out dwell at Jakarta on top of the chosen sail time.
