Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 188 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 178 were containers literally booked direct from Yokohama to Prince Rupert 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 27.7 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 26.8 to 28.8 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 26.8 to 28.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Yokohama and 8.41 days of gate-out dwell at Prince Rupert on top of the chosen sail time.
