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 45.3 days, based on 92 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 38.6–49.7 days (P25–P75 of 92 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Approximately 50.3 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Tianjin is 3.01 days. Vessel sail time from Tianjin to Melbourne is 45.3 days. The median gate-out dwell at Melbourne is 2.0 days.
Container shipping from Tianjin to Melbourne. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 92 records across qualifying paths. The median sail time on the fastest tracked path is 45.3 days. Most shipments arrive within 38.6 to 49.7 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 50.3 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 Melbourne is 45.3 days. Median gate-out dwell at Melbourne is 2.0 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
2 transshipment alternatives appear in the dataset, each routing a container through one or more hub ports between Tianjin and Melbourne. The Ningbo-routed path takes a median of 45.3 days based on 70 records, with a P25–P75 range of 38.6 to 49.7 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.64 days. The Ningbo and Hong Kong-routed path takes a median of 49.1 days based on 22 records, with a P25–P75 range of 45.2 to 56.6 days. Median dwell at the hub terminal on this path is 7.64 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 38.6 to 49.7 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 11.1-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 3.01 days of gate-in dwell at Tianjin and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Melbourne on top of the chosen sail time.
