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 21.6 days. This is based on 216 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 20.0–22.8 days (P25–P75 of 644 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Algeciras (27.4d total, 101 records).
Approximately 37.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Napoli is 6.0 days. Vessel sail time from Napoli to Tanger Med is 21.6 days. The median gate-out dwell at Tanger Med is 9.88 days.
Container shipping from Napoli to Tanger Med. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 644 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 216 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Napoli to Tanger Med with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 21.6 days. Most shipments arrive within 20.0 to 22.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 37.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Napoli is 6.0 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 Napoli to Tanger Med is 21.6 days. Median gate-out dwell at Tanger Med is 9.88 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 543 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 216 were containers literally booked direct from Napoli to Tanger Med 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 21.6 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 20.0 to 22.8 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Algeciras-routed path takes a median of 27.4 days based on 101 records, with a P25–P75 range of 25.7 to 29.6 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 4.54 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 20.0 to 22.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.8-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Napoli and 9.88 days of gate-out dwell at Tanger Med on top of the chosen sail time.
