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 61.4 days, based on 316 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 60.0–63.5 days (P25–P75 of 316 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
