About the Haiphong to New York shipping route
Ships leaving Haiphong for New York head north and cover a sea distance of 11,498 nautical miles (21,293 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 13,163 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Malacca and Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 34.2 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 39.9 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 26.6. Liner schedules on the lane quote 32 to 54 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 27 sailings by 3 carriers (CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd and MSC).
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Panama Canal sails 11,888 nm instead of 11,498 nm and spends roughly 1.2 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
2,777 nm of the route, 24% of it, lies inside North American ECA and Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.
Recent freight rates for VNHPH to USNYC start at $6,527 for a 20GP and $12,274 for a 40GP ($8,708 for a 40HC). These are spot market prices from carriers that sail the lane; your quote will also include terminal handling, documentation and any bunker surcharge. At New York (USNYC) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Haiphong in this directory, New York is the 64th shortest. Closer destinations include Savannah (11,481 nm), Charleston (11,471 nm) and Houston (11,416 nm).
