About the Hong Kong to Manila shipping route
Hong Kong to Manila is a 660 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south east from Hong Kong to the Philippines. That is 1,222 km of water against 1,113 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 2.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 2.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 1.5. 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 Manila to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Hong Kong to Manila move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Manila (PHMNL) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 63 port to port routes from Hong Kong in this directory, Manila is the 3rd shortest. Closer destinations include Haiphong (556 nm) and Kaohsiung (380 nm).
