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 13.8 days. This is based on 129 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 13.8–14.8 days (P25–P75 of 931 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Salalah to Mundra is approximately 1,031 nautical miles (1,910 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 Salalah to Mundra.
Approximately 20.6 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Salalah is 4.85 days. Vessel sail time from Salalah to Mundra is 13.8 days. The median gate-out dwell at Mundra is 2.0 days.
Container shipping from Salalah to Mundra spans approximately 1,031 nautical miles, equivalent to 1,910 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 931 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 129 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Salalah to Mundra with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 13.8 days. Most shipments arrive within 13.8 to 14.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 20.6 days. Median gate-in dwell at Salalah is 4.85 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 Salalah to Mundra is 13.8 days. Median gate-out dwell at Mundra is 2.0 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 931 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 129 were containers literally booked direct from Salalah to Mundra and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by MSC also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 13.8 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 13.8 to 14.8 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 13.8 to 14.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.85 days of gate-in dwell at Salalah and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Mundra on top of the chosen sail time.
