About the Port Said to Tokyo shipping route
Ships leaving Port Said for Tokyo head north east and cover a sea distance of 8,019 nautical miles (14,850 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 9,411 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca, 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 23.9 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 27.8 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 18.6. 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 Tokyo to plan the full ocean transit time.
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Panama Canal sails 14,115 nm instead of 8,019 nm and spends roughly 18.2 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
Container freight rates on Port Said to Tokyo move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Tokyo (JPTYO) carriers give about 8 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
