About the Mundra to Felixstowe shipping route
Ships leaving Mundra for Felixstowe head north west and cover a sea distance of 6,293 nautical miles (11,654 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 6,566 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb and Suez Canal, 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 18.7 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 21.8 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 14.6. 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 Felixstowe to plan the full ocean transit time.
The shortest route goes through the Red Sea. Since attacks on shipping began there in late 2023, many carriers send ships via Cape of Good Hope instead. That route is 10,971 nautical miles, 4,679 more, and adds about 13.9 days at 14 knots. Longer voyages burn more fuel and tie up more ships, which is why freight rates on Red Sea lanes jumped when the diversions started.
2,285 nm of the route, 36% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA and Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.
Container freight rates on Mundra to Felixstowe move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Felixstowe (GBFXT) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 64 port to port routes from Mundra in this directory, Felixstowe is the 39th shortest. Closer destinations include Le Havre (6,166 nm), Melbourne (6,044 nm) and Tokyo (5,791 nm).
