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 17.8 days. This is based on 249 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 15.3–18.3 days (P25–P75 of 1,332 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

The typical door-to-door figure is 26.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Shekou is 6.0 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 Shekou to Tanjung Pelepas is 17.8 days. Median gate-out dwell at Tanjung Pelepas is 2.68 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 1,332 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 249 were containers literally booked direct from Shekou to Tanjung Pelepas 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 17.8 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 15.3 to 18.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 15.3 to 18.3 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 3.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Shekou and 2.68 days of gate-out dwell at Tanjung Pelepas on top of the chosen sail time.
