About the Los Angeles to Singapore shipping route
Ships leaving Los Angeles for Singapore head north west and cover a sea distance of 7,777 nautical miles (14,402 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 14,146 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 27.0 days at 12 knots, 23.1 days at 14 knots and 18.0 days at 18 knots. Liner schedules on the lane quote 29 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 4 sailings by 1 carrier (COSCO).
683 nm of the route, 9% of it, lies inside North American 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.
Recent freight rates for USLAX to SGSIN start at $7,520 for a 20GP and $9,275 for a 40GP. These are spot market prices from carriers that sail the lane; your quote will also include terminal handling, documentation and any bunker surcharge. At Singapore (SGSIN) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
