About the Port Said to Santos shipping route
Ships leaving Port Said for Santos head south west and cover a sea distance of 6,389 nautical miles (11,832 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 10,368 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 19.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 22.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 14.8. 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 Santos to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,935 nm of the route, 30% of it, lies inside Mediterranean Sea 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.
Container freight rates on Port Said to Santos move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Santos (BRSSZ) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
