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 95.3 days. This is based on 1 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 95.3–95.3 days (P25–P75 of 220 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
Maersk line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Tanjung Pelepas (56.7d total, 197 records).

Container shipping from Qingdao to Tanger Med. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 220 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 1 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Qingdao to Tanger Med with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 95.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 95.3 to 95.3 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 107.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Qingdao is 2.34 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 Qingdao to Tanger Med is 95.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Tanger Med is 9.88 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 23 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 1 were containers literally booked direct from Qingdao to Tanger Med 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 95.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 95.3 to 95.3 days.
One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Tanjung Pelepas-routed path takes a median of 56.7 days based on 197 records, with a P25–P75 range of 53.4 to 64.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 95.3 to 95.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 0.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 2.34 days of gate-in dwell at Qingdao and 9.88 days of gate-out dwell at Tanger Med on top of the chosen sail time.
