On a globe the two ports sit 13,629 km apart, so the ship sails 1.05 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 23.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 26.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.9. Liner schedules on the lane quote 29 to 53 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship. Over the last 30 days we counted 20 sailings by 2 carriers (CMA CGM and Maersk).
348 nm of the route, 5% of it, lies inside North American 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.
