Shipping from Iran to Alexandria, Egypt via Mersin: Transit Times

Alexandria is the fastest African destination in our current network — its position on the Mediterranean, close to Mersin, makes this one of the more efficient routes we run right now.

The Route: Iran → Mersin/Poti → Alexandria

Cargo is trucked from Iran to Mersin, Turkey or Poti, Georgia, then by sea to Alexandria Port — Egypt’s largest port, handling roughly 55% of the country’s international trade.

Shipping Time from Iran to Alexandria: The Real Breakdown

  • Via Mersin: 30-40 days total, door-to-door
  • Via Poti: 60-70 days total, door-to-door

The difference here is significant — Mersin’s proximity to the Mediterranean makes it the clearly faster option for Egypt-bound cargo, unlike some other African destinations where the two ports perform similarly.

FCL Focus

As with our other routes, FCL shipping — 20ft and 40ft HQ containers — is where we focus for Alexandria-bound cargo.
