About the Auckland to Ho Chi Minh City shipping route
Auckland to Ho Chi Minh City is a 5,405 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading west from New Zealand to Vietnam. That is 10,010 km of water against 8,844 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 16.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 18.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 12.5. 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 Auckland and Ho Chi Minh City to plan the full ocean transit time.
