Antwerp to Tanjung Priok shipping route.

Antwerp to Tanjung Priok is a 8,639 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from Belgium to Indonesia. That is 15,999 km of water against 11,406 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal and Sunda Strait, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.

Pure steaming time is 25.7 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 30.0 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 20.0. Container transit time on a liner service is longer than the steaming time: ships call at other ports on the rotation, and cargo may transship at a hub. Add terminal time at Antwerp and Tanjung Priok to plan the full ocean transit time.

Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 11,389 nm instead of 8,639 nm and spends roughly 8.2 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.

2,333 nm of the route, 27% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA and Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.

Container freight rates on Antwerp to Tanjung Priok move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Tanjung Priok (IDTPP) carriers give about 4.5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.

Of the 61 port to port routes from Antwerp in this directory, Tanjung Priok is the 40th shortest. Closer destinations include Singapore (8,362 nm), Oakland (8,194 nm) and Port Klang (8,177 nm).
