About the Colombo to Port Said shipping route
Colombo to Port Said is a 3,525 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north west from Sri Lanka to Egypt. That is 6,529 km of water against 5,623 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal and Bab-el-Mandeb, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 10.5 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 12.2 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 8.2. 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 Colombo and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Colombo to Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
