Incheon to Mundra shipping route.

The shipping route from Incheon, South Korea to Mundra, India covers 5,445 nautical miles port to port, via Strait of Malacca. On a globe the two ports sit 5,620 km apart, so the ship sails 1.79 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Malacca.

Pure steaming time is 16.2 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 18.9 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 12.6. 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 Mundra to plan the full ocean transit time.

The next option is via Sunda Strait, 6,070 nautical miles, 625 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Sunda Strait is congested or closed.
