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 46.8 days. This is based on 79 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 45.8–59.8 days (P25–P75 of 251 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Mundra to Valencia is approximately 4,706 nautical miles (8,716 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Salalah > Tanger Med (61.4d total, 73 records).
Approximately 58.6 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Mundra is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Mundra to Valencia is 46.8 days. The median gate-out dwell at Valencia is 4.8 days.
Container shipping from Mundra to Valencia spans approximately 4,706 nautical miles, equivalent to 8,716 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 251 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 79 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Mundra to Valencia with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 46.8 days. Most shipments arrive within 45.8 to 59.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 58.6 days. Median gate-in dwell at Mundra 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 Mundra to Valencia is 46.8 days. Median gate-out dwell at Valencia is 4.8 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 178 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 79 were containers literally booked direct from Mundra to Valencia and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by Maersk and 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 46.8 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 45.8 to 59.8 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Salalah and Tanger Med-routed path takes a median of 61.4 days based on 73 records, with a P25–P75 range of 52.1 to 66.8 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 45.8 to 59.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 14.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Mundra and 4.8 days of gate-out dwell at Valencia on top of the chosen sail time.
