About the Jeddah to Yokohama shipping route
Ships leaving Jeddah for Yokohama head north east and cover a sea distance of 7,324 nautical miles (13,564 km), via Strait of Malacca. The straight line between the ports is 9,529 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 21.8 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 25.4 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 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 Yokohama to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 7,866 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 Yokohama move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Yokohama (JPYOK) carriers give about 8 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
