About the Jeddah to Tokyo shipping route
Jeddah to Tokyo is a 7,335 nautical mile shipping route via Strait of Malacca, heading north east from Saudi Arabia to Japan. That is 13,585 km of water against 9,533 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca.
Pure steaming time is 21.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 25.5 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.0. 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 Tokyo to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 7,877 nautical miles, 542 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Bab-el-Mandeb is congested or closed.
Container freight rates on Jeddah to Tokyo move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Tokyo (JPTYO) carriers give about 8 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, Tokyo is the 55th shortest. Closer destinations include Yokohama (7,324 nm), Melbourne (7,187 nm) and Santos (7,105 nm).
