About the Mombasa to Port Said shipping route
The shipping route from Mombasa, Kenya to Port Said, Egypt covers 3,100 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 4,006 km apart, so the ship sails 1.43 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal and Bab-el-Mandeb, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 9.2 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 10.8 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 7.2. 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 Mombasa and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Mombasa to Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
