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 22.2 days. This is based on 137 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 21.2–25.2 days (P25–P75 of 239 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Yokohama to Singapore is approximately 2,993 nautical miles (5,543 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
No transshipment paths are present in the tracked dataset for this lane — containers observed move directly from Yokohama to Singapore.
Approximately 28.4 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Yokohama is 6.0 days. Vessel sail time from Yokohama to Singapore is 22.2 days. The median gate-out dwell at Singapore is 0.21 days.
Container shipping from Yokohama to Singapore spans approximately 2,993 nautical miles, equivalent to 5,543 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 239 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 137 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Yokohama to Singapore with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 22.2 days. Most shipments arrive within 21.2 to 25.2 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 28.4 days. Median gate-in dwell at Yokohama is 6.0 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 Yokohama to Singapore is 22.2 days. Median gate-out dwell at Singapore is 0.21 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 239 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 137 were containers literally booked direct from Yokohama to Singapore and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by COSCO also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 22.2 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 21.2 to 25.2 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 21.2 to 25.2 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 6.0 days of gate-in dwell at Yokohama and 0.21 days of gate-out dwell at Singapore on top of the chosen sail time.
