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 55.0 days, based on 150 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 50.0–64.0 days (P25–P75 of 150 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Vessel sail time from Qingdao to Mombasa is 55.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Mombasa is 8.69 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
3 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Qingdao and Mombasa. The Singapore-routed path takes a median of 55.0 days based on 75 records, with a P25–P75 range of 50.0 to 64.0 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. The Tanjung Pelepas-routed path takes a median of 40.8 days based on 46 records, with a P25–P75 range of 38.1 to 44.6 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days.

For planning purposes, treat the 50.0 to 64.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 14.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 2.34 days of gate-in dwell at Qingdao and 8.69 days of gate-out dwell at Mombasa on top of the chosen sail time.
