About the Incheon to Laem Chabang shipping route
Incheon to Laem Chabang is a 2,639 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south west from South Korea to Thailand. That is 4,888 km of water against 3,723 km as the crow flies. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 7.9 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 9.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 6.1. 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 Incheon and Laem Chabang to plan the full ocean transit time.
