About the Ningbo to Laem Chabang shipping route

The straight line between the ports is 2,830 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 6.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 7.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 4.9.
