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 48.1 days. This is based on 60 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 46.1–58.1 days (P25–P75 of 196 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Thames to Hazira is approximately 6,415 nautical miles (11,881 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Salalah (48.1d total, 103 records); Mundra (55.1d total, 27 records).
Approximately 56.2 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Thames is 7.02 days. Vessel sail time from Thames to Hazira is 48.1 days. The median gate-out dwell at Hazira is 1.09 days.
Container shipping from Thames to Hazira spans approximately 6,415 nautical miles, equivalent to 11,881 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 196 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 60 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Thames to Hazira with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 48.1 days. Most shipments arrive within 46.1 to 58.1 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 56.2 days. Median gate-in dwell at Thames is 7.02 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 Thames to Hazira is 48.1 days. Median gate-out dwell at Hazira is 1.09 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 66 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 60 were containers literally booked direct from Thames to Hazira and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by Maersk also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 48.1 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 46.1 to 58.1 days.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Thames and Hazira. The Salalah-routed path takes a median of 48.1 days based on 103 records, with a P25–P75 range of 46.9 to 49.5 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days. The Mundra-routed path takes a median of 55.1 days based on 27 records, with a P25–P75 range of 50.1 to 59.1 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 46.1 to 58.1 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 12.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.02 days of gate-in dwell at Thames and 1.09 days of gate-out dwell at Hazira on top of the chosen sail time.
