About the Colombo to Mundra shipping route
Colombo to Mundra is a 1,265 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Sri Lanka to India. That is 2,342 km of water against 2,069 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 3.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 4.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 2.9. 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 Colombo and Mundra to plan the full ocean transit time.
