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 68.8 days. This is based on 31 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 66.8–71.8 days (P25–P75 of 132 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Nansha to Gdansk is approximately 10,650 nautical miles (19,724 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Tanjung Pelepas (88.9d total, 41 records); Tanjung Pelepas > Bremerhaven (71.7d total, 37 records); Singapore (66.8d total, 23 records).
Approximately 80.6 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Nansha is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Nansha to Gdansk is 68.8 days. The median gate-out dwell at Gdansk is 4.85 days.
Container shipping from Nansha to Gdansk spans approximately 10,650 nautical miles, equivalent to 19,724 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 132 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 31 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Nansha to Gdansk with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 68.8 days. Most shipments arrive within 66.8 to 71.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 80.6 days. Median gate-in dwell at Nansha 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 Nansha to Gdansk is 68.8 days. Median gate-out dwell at Gdansk is 4.85 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 31 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 31 were containers literally booked direct from Nansha to Gdansk 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 68.8 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 66.8 to 71.8 days.
3 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Nansha and Gdansk. The Tanjung Pelepas-routed path takes a median of 88.9 days based on 41 records, with a P25–P75 range of 74.8 to 90.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days. The Tanjung Pelepas and Bremerhaven-routed path takes a median of 71.7 days based on 37 records, with a P25–P75 range of 68.6 to 75.2 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days. The Singapore-routed path takes a median of 66.8 days based on 23 records, with a P25–P75 range of 63.9 to 70.8 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 66.8 to 71.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 5.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Nansha and 4.85 days of gate-out dwell at Gdansk on top of the chosen sail time.
