Estimated from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none, which can include an inland leg; spans over 120 days are left out. The middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

Loaded on board → container discharged at the port of discharge, from the carrier's container events: actual dates, not estimates. It has no inland leg, so it is not directly comparable with the estimate, and it rests on fewer shipments because most Bills of Lading are read after the container has been returned empty.

The estimate runs to the final place of delivery and can include an inland leg; the actual stops at the port of discharge.

Turkey to Israel ocean freight

Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from Turkey to Israel — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 5 days (middle half 4–9 days, 90% within 20 days) across 36 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. The estimate runs to the final place of delivery and can include an inland leg; the actual stops at the port of discharge.

Cargo on this lane loads mainly at Turkey ports including Izmir, Mersin, Aliaga and Iskenderun and is discharged mainly at Ashdod and Haifa on the Israel side.

Every Turkey-to-Israel shipment here travels on an Evergreen (EGLV) Bill of Lading and is read from the carrier's own tracking record: vessel, voyage, port milestones and per-container status, re-checked after the estimated arrival (the ETA, or the last planned arrival when there is none) until a status reports the shipment at its final destination, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.

Planned routing: 3% of 38 shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge are planned via a transshipment port, most often Piraeus (1); the rest are planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. This is the carrier's planned routing when bexy read each Bill of Lading, and it can change after booking.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to ship from Turkey to Israel?
The median estimated transit from Turkey to Israel is 8 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none; half of shipments were estimated at between 6 and 10 days and 90% at 22 days or less, across 85 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. The exact time depends on the service, any transshipment and any inland leg to the final destination.
How long does shipping from Turkey to Israel actually take?
The median actual transit from Turkey to Israel is 5 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge, as reported in the carrier's container events; half of these shipments took between 4 and 9 days and 90% took 20 days or less, across 36 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. Unlike the estimated transit it ends at the port of discharge, with no inland leg, and it rests on fewer shipments: for most Bills of Lading bexy first reads the record after the container has been returned empty, when the discharge is no longer shown.
Which ports handle Turkey to Israel shipments?
Cargo most often loads at Izmir, Mersin, Aliaga and Iskenderun. On arrival it is most often discharged at Ashdod and Haifa.
Is cargo from Turkey to Israel shipped direct or transshipped?
In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, 3% of the 38 Turkey-to-Israel shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Piraeus; the rest were planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. A transshipment port here is a planned stop between those two ports that is not the place of receipt or delivery, and routings can change after booking.
