About the Manila to Singapore shipping route
Manila to Singapore is a 1,363 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south west from the Philippines to Singapore. That is 2,524 km of water against 2,401 km as the crow flies. 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 4.1 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 4.7 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 3.2. 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 Singapore to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Manila to Singapore move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. 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.
