About the Port Said to Karachi shipping route
The shipping route from Port Said, Egypt to Karachi, Pakistan covers 2,896 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 3,458 km apart, so the ship sails 1.55 times the straight line distance. 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.

Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 10.1 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 6.7.
