Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 459 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 218 were containers literally booked direct from Tekirdag to Antwerp and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 28.3 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 27.3 to 28.3 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 27.3 to 28.3 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 9.0 days of gate-in dwell at Tekirdag and 4.31 days of gate-out dwell at Antwerp on top of the chosen sail time.
