About the Callao to Durban shipping route
The shipping route from Callao, Peru to Durban, South Africa covers 7,412 nautical miles port to port, via Cape of Good Hope. On a globe the two ports sit 11,031 km apart, so the ship sails 1.24 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Cape of Good Hope and Strait of Magellan.
Pure steaming time is 22.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 25.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.2. 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 Callao and Durban to plan the full ocean transit time.
