About the Port Said to Sydney shipping route
Port Said to Sydney is a 8,366 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from Egypt to Australia. That is 15,493 km of water against 14,368 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.
At sea, the voyage lasts 29.0 days at 12 knots, 24.9 days at 14 knots and 19.4 days at 18 knots.
