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 65.0 days. This is based on 226 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 62.0–68.0 days (P25–P75 of 334 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
Yes. Tracked transshipment options include: Tanjung Pelepas > Port Said (63.9d total, 57 records); Ningbo > Port Said (76.7d total, 33 records).
Approximately 72.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Tianjin is 3.01 days. Vessel sail time from Tianjin to Ashdod is 65.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Ashdod is 4.0 days.
Container shipping from Tianjin to Ashdod. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 334 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 226 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Tianjin to Ashdod with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 65.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 62.0 to 68.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 72.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Tianjin is 3.01 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 Tianjin to Ashdod is 65.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Ashdod is 4.0 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 244 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 226 were containers literally booked direct from Tianjin to Ashdod 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 65.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 62.0 to 68.0 days.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Tianjin and Ashdod. The Tanjung Pelepas and Port Said-routed path takes a median of 63.9 days based on 57 records, with a P25–P75 range of 60.6 to 66.9 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 5.34 days. The Ningbo and Port Said-routed path takes a median of 76.7 days based on 33 records, with a P25–P75 range of 70.8 to 81.2 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.64 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 62.0 to 68.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 6.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 3.01 days of gate-in dwell at Tianjin and 4.0 days of gate-out dwell at Ashdod on top of the chosen sail time.
