About the Port Said to Auckland shipping route
Port Said to Auckland is a 9,453 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from Egypt to New Zealand. That is 17,506 km of water against 16,526 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal and Bab-el-Mandeb, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 28.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 32.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 21.9. 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 Port Said and Auckland to plan the full ocean transit time.
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Panama Canal sails 13,192 nm instead of 9,453 nm and spends roughly 11.1 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
