Qingdao to Port Said shipping route.

The shipping route from Qingdao, China to Port Said, Egypt covers 7,545 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 7,875 km apart, so the ship sails 1.77 times the straight line distance. 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 22.5 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 26.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 17.5. 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 Qingdao and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.

Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Panama Canal sails 14,960 nm instead of 7,545 nm and spends roughly 22.1 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
