About the Port Said to Yantian shipping route
Port Said to Yantian is a 6,527 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from Egypt to China. That is 12,087 km of water against 8,006 km as the crow flies. 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.
Pure steaming time is 19.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 22.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 15.1. 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 Yantian to plan the full ocean transit time.
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 14,000 nm instead of 6,527 nm and spends roughly 22.3 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
