About the Manila to Vancouver shipping route
Manila to Vancouver is a 6,100 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from the Philippines to Canada. That is 11,297 km of water against 10,547 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 21.2 days at 12 knots, 18.2 days at 14 knots and 14.1 days at 18 knots. 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 Vancouver to plan the full ocean transit time.
570 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.
Container freight rates on Manila to Vancouver move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Vancouver (CAVAN) carriers give about 3 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Manila in this directory, Vancouver is the 33rd shortest. Closer destinations include Seattle (6,078 nm), Durban (6,069 nm) and Jeddah (5,746 nm).
