Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 30.4 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 20.3. 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 Jeddah and Auckland to plan the full ocean transit time.
