About the Manila to Hong Kong shipping route
The shipping route from Manila, Philippines to Hong Kong covers 660 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 1,113 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.
Pure steaming time is 2.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 2.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 1.5. 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 Manila and Hong Kong to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Manila to Hong Kong move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Hong Kong (HKHKG) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
