About the Melbourne to Manzanillo shipping route
The shipping route from Melbourne, Australia to Manzanillo, Mexico covers 7,401 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 13,081 km apart, so the ship sails 1.05 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 22.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 25.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.1. 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 Melbourne and Manzanillo to plan the full ocean transit time.
