About the Mombasa to Nhava Sheva shipping route

The straight line between the ports is 4,453 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 7.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 8.5 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 5.7. 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 Mombasa and Nhava Sheva to plan the full ocean transit time.
