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 57.0 days. This is based on 91 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 56.5–60.1 days (P25–P75 of 307 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 307 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 91 were containers literally booked direct from Valencia to Salalah and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. Maersk operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 57.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 56.5 to 60.1 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 56.5 to 60.1 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 3.6-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 8.0 days of gate-in dwell at Valencia and 14.0 days of gate-out dwell at Salalah on top of the chosen sail time.
