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 54.1 days, based on 134 tracked records on this lane.
Most containers arrive within 50.0–61.9 days (P25–P75 of 134 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.

For planning purposes, treat the 50.0 to 61.9 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for this lane. About half of all observed tracked shipments fell within that 11.9-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Yokohama and 8.69 days of gate-out dwell at Mombasa on top of the chosen sail time.
