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 57.1 days. This is based on 183 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 52.4–68.4 days (P25–P75 of 202 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port is approximately 9,360 nautical miles (17,335 km).
Maersk 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 Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port.
Approximately 74.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Nansha is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port is 57.1 days. The median gate-out dwell at Kribi Deepwater Port is 10.43 days.
Container shipping from Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port spans approximately 9,360 nautical miles, equivalent to 17,335 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 202 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 183 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 57.1 days. Most shipments arrive within 52.4 to 68.4 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 74.5 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 Kribi Deepwater Port is 57.1 days. Median gate-out dwell at Kribi Deepwater Port is 10.43 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 202 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 183 were containers literally booked direct from Nansha to Kribi Deepwater Port and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk 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 57.1 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 52.4 to 68.4 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 52.4 to 68.4 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 16.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Nansha and 10.43 days of gate-out dwell at Kribi Deepwater Port on top of the chosen sail time.
