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 60.3 days, based on 141 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 58.6–63.4 days (P25–P75 of 141 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

One transshipment alternative is present in the dataset. The Salalah-routed path takes a median of 60.3 days based on 141 records, with a P25–P75 range of 58.6 to 63.4 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 58.6 to 63.4 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 4.8-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.02 days of gate-in dwell at Thames and 8.69 days of gate-out dwell at Mombasa on top of the chosen sail time.
