About the London Gateway to Tanjung Priok shipping route
London Gateway to Tanjung Priok is a 8,588 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from the United Kingdom to Indonesia. That is 15,904 km of water against 11,670 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Gibraltar and Sunda Strait, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 25.6 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 29.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 19.9. 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 London Gateway and Tanjung Priok to plan the full ocean transit time.
The shortest route goes through the Red Sea. Since attacks on shipping began there in late 2023, many carriers send ships via Cape of Good Hope instead. That route is 11,338 nautical miles, 2,751 more, and adds about 8.2 days at 14 knots. Longer voyages burn more fuel and tie up more ships, which is why freight rates on Red Sea lanes jumped when the diversions started.
2,286 nm of the route, 27% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA and 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 London Gateway to Tanjung Priok move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Tanjung Priok (IDTPP) carriers give about 4.5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 61 port to port routes from London Gateway in this directory, Tanjung Priok is the 40th shortest. Closer destinations include Singapore (8,311 nm), Oakland (8,143 nm) and Port Klang (8,126 nm).
