About the Laem Chabang to Ningbo shipping route
Ships leaving Laem Chabang for Ningbo head north east and cover a sea distance of 2,133 nautical miles (3,950 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 2,830 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 6.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 7.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 4.9. Liner schedules on the lane quote 5 to 10 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 33 sailings by 5 carriers (CNC, Maersk, MSC, OOCL and SITC).
