About the Hong Kong to Laem Chabang shipping route
Ships leaving Hong Kong for Laem Chabang head south west and cover a sea distance of 1,439 nautical miles (2,664 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,739 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 4.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 5.0 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.3. 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 Hong Kong and Laem Chabang to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Hong Kong to Laem Chabang move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Laem Chabang (THLCH) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
