Port Klang to Genoa shipping route.

Port Klang to Genoa is a 6,327 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north west from Malaysia to Italy. That is 11,717 km of water against 9,970 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.

Pure steaming time is 18.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 22.0 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 14.6. Liner schedules on the lane quote 20 to 59 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 50 sailings by 3 carriers (CMA CGM, Maersk and ONE).

Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 11,475 nm instead of 6,327 nm and spends roughly 15.3 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.

1,439 nm of the route, 23% 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.

Recent freight rates for MYPKG to ITGOA start at $2,786 for a 20GP and $3,811 for a 40GP. These are spot market prices from carriers that sail the lane; your quote will also include terminal handling, documentation and any bunker surcharge. At Genoa (ITGOA) carriers give about 14 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.

Of the 64 port to port routes from Port Klang in this directory, Genoa is the 36th shortest. Closer destinations include Marsaxlokk (5,839 nm), Cape Town (5,536 nm) and Piraeus (5,484 nm).
