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 54.7 days. This is based on 154 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 53.2–57.3 days (P25–P75 of 1,470 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Ningbo to Port Said is approximately 7,250 nautical miles (13,427 km).
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Approximately 67.7 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Ningbo is 4.7 days. Vessel sail time from Ningbo to Port Said is 54.7 days. The median gate-out dwell at Port Said is 8.33 days.
Container shipping from Ningbo to Port Said spans approximately 7,250 nautical miles, equivalent to 13,427 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 1,470 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 154 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Ningbo to Port Said with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 54.7 days. Most shipments arrive within 53.2 to 57.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 67.7 days. Median gate-in dwell at Ningbo is 4.7 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 Ningbo to Port Said is 54.7 days. Median gate-out dwell at Port Said is 8.33 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 1,470 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 154 were containers literally booked direct from Ningbo to Port Said 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 54.7 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 53.2 to 57.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 53.2 to 57.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 4.1-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.7 days of gate-in dwell at Ningbo and 8.33 days of gate-out dwell at Port Said on top of the chosen sail time.
