About the Incheon to Tokyo shipping route
Ships leaving Incheon for Tokyo head east and cover a sea distance of 1,067 nautical miles (1,976 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,193 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
At sea, the voyage lasts 3.7 days at 12 knots, 3.2 days at 14 knots and 2.5 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 Incheon and Tokyo to plan the full ocean transit time.
