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 115.9 days, based on 135 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 85.9–123.9 days (P25–P75 of 135 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Container shipping from Montreal to Shanghai spans approximately 11,980 nautical miles, equivalent to 22,187 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 135 records across qualifying paths. The median sail time on the fastest tracked path is 115.9 days. Most shipments arrive within 85.9 to 123.9 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 125.8 days. Median gate-in dwell at Montreal is 8.0 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 Montreal to Shanghai is 115.9 days. Median gate-out dwell at Shanghai is 1.9 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
5 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Montreal and Shanghai. The Le Havre-routed path takes a median of 115.9 days based on 43 records, with a P25–P75 range of 85.9 to 123.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. The Antwerp-routed path takes a median of 64.7 days based on 25 records, with a P25–P75 range of 61.5 to 85.1 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.0 days. The Singapore-routed path takes a median of 67.3 days based on 24 records, with a P25–P75 range of 64.8 to 68.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. Additional tracked transshipment options through Sines, and Valencia represent smaller volume on this corridor.
For planning purposes, treat the 85.9 to 123.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 38.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 8.0 days of gate-in dwell at Montreal and 1.9 days of gate-out dwell at Shanghai on top of the chosen sail time.
