Hong Kong to Port Said shipping route.

The shipping route from Hong Kong to Port Said, Egypt covers 6,505 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 8,009 km apart, so the ship sails 1.50 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.

At sea, the voyage lasts 22.6 days at 12 knots, 19.4 days at 14 knots and 15.1 days at 18 knots. 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 Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.

Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 13,979 nm instead of 6,505 nm and spends roughly 22.2 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
