About the Mombasa to Singapore shipping route
Ships leaving Mombasa for Singapore head east and cover a sea distance of 4,126 nautical miles (7,640 km), via Strait of Malacca. The straight line between the ports is 7,154 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Malacca.
Pure steaming time is 12.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 14.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.5. 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 Singapore to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 4,645 nautical miles, 519 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Sunda Strait is congested or closed.
Container freight rates on Mombasa 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.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Mombasa in this directory, Singapore is the 16th shortest. Closer destinations include Marsaxlokk (4,052 nm), Port Klang (3,941 nm) and Piraeus (3,697 nm).
