About the Port Said to Djibouti shipping route
Port Said to Djibouti is a 1,376 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading south east from Egypt to Djibouti. That is 2,549 km of water against 2,457 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 4.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 4.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.2. 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 Djibouti to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Port Said to Djibouti move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Djibouti (DJJIB) carriers give about 10 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
