Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 1,241 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 287 were containers literally booked direct from Sihanoukville 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 8.9 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 8.7 to 9.3 days.
