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 69.9 days, based on 205 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 64.9–79.9 days (P25–P75 of 205 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Shanghai to Lagos is approximately 10,313 nautical miles (19,099 km).

Container shipping from Shanghai to Lagos spans approximately 10,313 nautical miles, equivalent to 19,099 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 205 records across qualifying paths. The median sail time on the fastest tracked path is 69.9 days. Most shipments arrive within 64.9 to 79.9 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 83.8 days. Median gate-in dwell at Shanghai is 3.53 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 Shanghai to Lagos is 69.9 days. Median gate-out dwell at Lagos is 10.36 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
4 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Shanghai and Lagos. The Singapore-routed path takes a median of 69.9 days based on 74 records, with a P25–P75 range of 64.9 to 79.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. The Tanjung Pelepas-routed path takes a median of 63.9 days based on 68 records, with a P25–P75 range of 54.7 to 72.5 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days. The Singapore and Lome-routed path takes a median of 83.9 days based on 39 records, with a P25–P75 range of 75.9 to 92.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 6.0 days. Additional tracked transshipment options through Singapore represent smaller volume on this corridor.
For planning purposes, treat the 64.9 to 79.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 15.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 3.53 days of gate-in dwell at Shanghai and 10.36 days of gate-out dwell at Lagos on top of the chosen sail time.
