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 19.6 days. This is based on 19 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 19.1–20.8 days (P25–P75 of 20 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Nansha to Manila is approximately 729 nautical miles (1,350 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 Manila.
Approximately 31.1 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Nansha is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Nansha to Manila is 19.6 days. The median gate-out dwell at Manila is 4.45 days.
Container shipping from Nansha to Manila spans approximately 729 nautical miles, equivalent to 1,350 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 20 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 19 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Nansha to Manila with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 19.6 days. Most shipments arrive within 19.1 to 20.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 31.1 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 Manila is 19.6 days. Median gate-out dwell at Manila is 4.45 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 20 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 19 were containers literally booked direct from Nansha to Manila and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 19.6 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 19.1 to 20.8 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 19.1 to 20.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.7-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Nansha and 4.45 days of gate-out dwell at Manila on top of the chosen sail time.
