About the Piraeus to Tanjung Priok shipping route
The shipping route from Piraeus, Greece to Tanjung Priok, Indonesia covers 5,946 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 9,837 km apart, so the ship sails 1.12 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb 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 17.7 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 20.6 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 13.8. 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 Piraeus 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 11,763 nautical miles, 5,817 more, and adds about 17.3 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.
597 nm of the route, 10% of it, lies inside 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 Piraeus 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 Piraeus in this directory, Tanjung Priok is the 37th shortest. Closer destinations include Santos (5,913 nm), Balboa (5,818 nm) and Singapore (5,669 nm).
