About the Jeddah to Callao shipping route
Jeddah to Callao is a 8,396 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading west from Saudi Arabia to Peru. That is 15,550 km of water against 13,196 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Panama Canal and Strait of Gibraltar, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
At sea, the voyage lasts 29.2 days at 12 knots, 25.0 days at 14 knots and 19.4 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 Jeddah and Callao to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Cape of Good Hope, 11,374 nautical miles, 2,978 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Cape of Good Hope is congested or closed.
2,083 nm of the route, 25% of it, lies inside US Caribbean Sea ECA and Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.
Container freight rates on Jeddah to Callao move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Callao (PECLL) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Jeddah in this directory, Callao is the 59th shortest. Closer destinations include Buenos Aires (7,995 nm), Sydney (7,683 nm) and Houston (7,409 nm).
