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 14.7 days. This is based on 170 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 14.2–15.6 days (P25–P75 of 459 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Pyeongtaek to Qingdao is approximately 346 nautical miles (641 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 Pyeongtaek to Qingdao.
Approximately 22.3 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Pyeongtaek is 4.79 days. Vessel sail time from Pyeongtaek to Qingdao is 14.7 days. The median gate-out dwell at Qingdao is 2.84 days.
Container shipping from Pyeongtaek to Qingdao spans approximately 346 nautical miles, equivalent to 641 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 459 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 170 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Pyeongtaek to Qingdao with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 14.7 days. Most shipments arrive within 14.2 to 15.6 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 22.3 days. Median gate-in dwell at Pyeongtaek is 4.79 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 Pyeongtaek to Qingdao is 14.7 days. Median gate-out dwell at Qingdao is 2.84 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 459 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 170 were containers literally booked direct from Pyeongtaek to Qingdao 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 14.7 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 14.2 to 15.6 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 14.2 to 15.6 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.4-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.79 days of gate-in dwell at Pyeongtaek and 2.84 days of gate-out dwell at Qingdao on top of the chosen sail time.
