About the Jeddah to Valencia shipping route
The shipping route from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to Valencia, Spain covers 2,384 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 4,235 km apart, so the ship sails 1.04 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 7.1 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 8.3 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 5.5. 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 Valencia to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,668 nm of the route, 70% of it, lies inside 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 Valencia move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Valencia (ESVLC) 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, Valencia is the 12th shortest. Closer destinations include Mundra (2,373 nm), Barcelona (2,307 nm) and Jebel Ali (2,287 nm).
