About the New York to Tanjung Priok shipping route
New York to Tanjung Priok is a 10,461 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north from the United States to Indonesia. That is 19,374 km of water against 16,166 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal and Sunda Strait, 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 31.1 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 36.3 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 24.2. 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 New York and Tanjung Priok 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 12,025 nautical miles, 1,563 more, and adds about 4.7 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.
2,777 nm of the route, 27% 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 Tanjung Priok move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Tanjung Priok (IDTPP) carriers give about 4.5 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, Tanjung Priok is the 52nd shortest. Closer destinations include Busan (10,209 nm), Singapore (10,184 nm) and Melbourne (10,167 nm).
