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 62.1 days, based on 140 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 60.9–63.9 days (P25–P75 of 140 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

For planning purposes, treat the 60.9 to 63.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 3.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.13 days of gate-in dwell at Rotterdam and 5.0 days of gate-out dwell at Nagoya on top of the chosen sail time.
