Jeddah to Sydney is a 7,683 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south east from Saudi Arabia to Australia. That is 14,228 km of water against 13,296 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Bab-el-Mandeb.
Pure steaming time is 22.9 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 26.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.8. 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 Sydney to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Jeddah to Sydney move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Sydney (AUSYD) carriers give about 8 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
