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 47.9 days. This is based on 244 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 47.0–49.3 days (P25–P75 of 4,962 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Container shipping from Port Said to Salalah spans approximately 1,992 nautical miles, equivalent to 3,690 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 4,962 records across qualifying paths.

Most shipments arrive within 47.0 to 49.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 66.7 days. Median gate-in dwell at Port Said is 4.82 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 Port Said to Salalah is 47.9 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 4,934 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 244 were containers literally booked direct from Port Said 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 47.9 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 47.0 to 49.3 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Nhava Sheva-routed path takes a median of 92.3 days based on 28 records, with a P25–P75 range of 81.9 to 97.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 19.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 47.0 to 49.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.3-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.82 days of gate-in dwell at Port Said and 14.0 days of gate-out dwell at Salalah on top of the chosen sail time.
