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 11.3 days. This is based on 150 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 10.7–11.7 days (P25–P75 of 454 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Phnom Penh to Vung Tau is approximately 371 nautical miles (687 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 Phnom Penh to Vung Tau.
Approximately 20.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Phnom Penh is 5.3 days. Vessel sail time from Phnom Penh to Vung Tau is 11.3 days. The median gate-out dwell at Vung Tau is 3.41 days.
Container shipping from Phnom Penh to Vung Tau spans approximately 371 nautical miles, equivalent to 687 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 454 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 150 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Phnom Penh to Vung Tau with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 11.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 10.7 to 11.7 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 20.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Phnom Penh is 5.3 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 Phnom Penh to Vung Tau is 11.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Vung Tau is 3.41 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 454 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 150 were containers literally booked direct from Phnom Penh to Vung Tau and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by MSC also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 11.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 10.7 to 11.7 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 10.7 to 11.7 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.3 days of gate-in dwell at Phnom Penh and 3.41 days of gate-out dwell at Vung Tau on top of the chosen sail time.
