Pure steaming time is 11.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 13.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 8.9. 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 Nhava Sheva and Haiphong to plan the full ocean transit time.

The next option is via Sunda Strait, 4,473 nautical miles, 649 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Sunda Strait is congested or closed.
