The Middle East and Africa are core advantage routes for SIDAJA LOGISTICS. Actual transit times vary depending on port call sequences, vessel types, and transshipment arrangements. Below are reference transit times for major ports:

Middle East Routes (Key Ports):
• UAE / Jebel Ali: Direct sailing approx. 18–22 days
• Saudi Arabia / Jeddah: Direct sailing approx. 20–25 days
• Saudi Arabia / Dammam: Direct sailing approx. 22–28 days
• Oman / Sohar: Direct sailing approx. 20–26 days
• Qatar / Hamad: Direct sailing approx. 22–28 days
• Kuwait / Shuwaikh: Direct sailing approx. 22–28 days

Africa Routes (Key Ports):
• West Africa / Lagos, Nigeria: Approx. 30–40 days
• West Africa / Tema, Ghana: Approx. 28–35 days
• East Africa / Mombasa, Kenya: Approx. 28–35 days
• East Africa / Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Approx. 30–38 days
• South Africa / Durban: Approx. 30–38 days
• North Africa / Alexandria, Egypt: Approx. 22–28 days
• North Africa / Casablanca, Morocco: Approx. 28–35 days

Factors Affecting Transit Time:
① Vessel Type & Speed: Ro-Ro and break-bulk vessels sail at different speeds — break-bulk vessels are typically slightly slower.
② Number of Port Calls: Direct sailings are faster than transshipment. Vessels with fewer port calls are faster than those with many stops.
③ Port Congestion: Some African ports experience significant congestion, which may cause waiting time for berths after arrival.
④ Red Sea Situation: If rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope, transit time increases by 10–14 days.
⑤ Seasonal Factors: Peak season (Q4) may slow down port and canal transit.

The above times are ocean transit time references only, excluding origin port consolidation, customs declaration, and destination clearance time.
