Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 12.0 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 13.9 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 9.3. 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 Mundra and Durban to plan the full ocean transit time.
