About the Port Klang to New York shipping route
Port Klang to New York is a 10,000 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north from Malaysia to the United States. That is 18,520 km of water against 15,132 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Malacca and Strait of Gibraltar, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
At sea, the voyage lasts 34.7 days at 12 knots, 29.8 days at 14 knots and 23.1 days at 18 knots. Liner schedules on the lane quote 40 to 63 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 28 sailings by 2 carriers (CMA CGM and Maersk).
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 12,309 nm instead of 10,000 nm and spends roughly 6.9 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
2,777 nm of the route, 28% 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.
Recent freight rates for MYPKG to USNYC start at $6,708 for a 20GP and $8,370 for a 40GP ($8,420 for a 40HC). These are spot market prices from carriers that sail the lane; your quote will also include terminal handling, documentation and any bunker surcharge. At New York (USNYC) carriers give about 4 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, New York is the 57th shortest. Closer destinations include Manzanillo (9,269 nm), Buenos Aires (9,222 nm) and Gdansk (9,024 nm).
