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 12.9 days. This is based on 143 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 12.3–13.4 days (P25–P75 of 296 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

The typical door-to-door figure is 21.7 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 Thessaloniki is 12.9 days. Median gate-out dwell at Thessaloniki is 4.0 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 296 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 143 were containers literally booked direct from Port Said to Thessaloniki 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 12.9 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 12.3 to 13.4 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 12.3 to 13.4 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.1-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 4.0 days of gate-out dwell at Thessaloniki on top of the chosen sail time.
