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 22.0 days. This is based on 96 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 21.5–25.1 days (P25–P75 of 777 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Nhava Sheva to Salalah is approximately 1,138 nautical miles (2,108 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Approximately 40.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Nhava Sheva is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Nhava Sheva to Salalah is 22.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Salalah is 14.0 days.
Container shipping from Nhava Sheva to Salalah spans approximately 1,138 nautical miles, equivalent to 2,108 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 777 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 96 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Nhava Sheva to Salalah with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 22.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 21.5 to 25.1 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 40.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Nhava Sheva is 4.0 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 Nhava Sheva to Salalah is 22.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Salalah is 14.0 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 777 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 96 were containers literally booked direct from Nhava Sheva to Salalah 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 22.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 21.5 to 25.1 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 21.5 to 25.1 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 3.6-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.0 days of gate-in dwell at Nhava Sheva and 14.0 days of gate-out dwell at Salalah on top of the chosen sail time.
