About the Port Said to Mombasa shipping route
Ships leaving Port Said for Mombasa head south and cover a sea distance of 3,100 nautical miles (5,742 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 4,006 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. 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.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 9.2 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 10.8 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 7.2. 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 Mombasa to plan the full ocean transit time.
