About the Dalian to Manila shipping route
The shipping route from Dalian, China to Manila, Philippines covers 1,610 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 2,701 km apart, so the ship sails 1.10 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 4.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 5.6 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.7. 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 Dalian and Manila to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Dalian to Manila move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one.
