About the Busan to Auckland shipping route
Ships leaving Busan for Auckland head south east and cover a sea distance of 5,232 nautical miles (9,690 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 9,291 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 15.6 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 18.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 12.1. 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 Busan and Auckland to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Busan to Auckland move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Auckland (NZAKL) carriers give about 30 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
