About the Karachi to Auckland shipping route

The shipping route from Karachi, Pakistan to Auckland, New Zealand covers 7,780 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 13,158 km apart, so the ship sails 1.10 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.

Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 23.2 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 27.0 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 18.0. 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 Karachi and Auckland to plan the full ocean transit time.
