About the Jeddah to Felixstowe shipping route
Ships leaving Jeddah for Felixstowe head north west and cover a sea distance of 3,953 nautical miles (7,320 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 4,687 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar and Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 11.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 13.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.1. 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 Jeddah and Felixstowe to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,285 nm of the route, 58% of it, lies inside North 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 Felixstowe move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Felixstowe (GBFXT) carriers give about 5 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, Felixstowe is the 18th shortest. Closer destinations include Le Havre (3,826 nm), Colombo (2,842 nm) and Algeciras (2,641 nm).
