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 66.9 days. This is based on 650 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 64.9–68.9 days (P25–P75 of 656 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Yantian to Salvador is approximately 10,328 nautical miles (19,127 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.

Container shipping from Yantian to Salvador spans approximately 10,328 nautical miles, equivalent to 19,127 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 656 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 650 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Yantian to Salvador with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 66.9 days. Most shipments arrive within 64.9 to 68.9 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 74.8 days. Median gate-in dwell at Yantian is 5.88 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 Yantian to Salvador is 66.9 days. Median gate-out dwell at Salvador is 2.0 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 656 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 650 were containers literally booked direct from Yantian to Salvador and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 66.9 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 64.9 to 68.9 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 64.9 to 68.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 4.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 5.88 days of gate-in dwell at Yantian and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Salvador on top of the chosen sail time.
