About the Callao to Melbourne shipping route

The straight line between the ports is 12,947 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 21.9 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 25.6 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 17.0. 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 Callao and Melbourne to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Callao to Melbourne move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one.
