About the New York to Port Said shipping route
Ships leaving New York for Port Said head north east and cover a sea distance of 5,112 nautical miles (9,468 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 9,006 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 15.2 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 17.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 11.8. 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 New York and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,777 nm of the route, 54% of it, lies inside North American 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 New York 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.
Of the 65 port to port routes from New York in this directory, Port Said is the 27th shortest. Closer destinations include Lagos (Apapa) (5,060 nm), Santos (5,035 nm) and Los Angeles (4,998 nm).
