About the Santos to Port Said shipping route

Santos to Port Said is a 6,389 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from Brazil to Egypt. That is 11,832 km of water against 10,368 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.

At sea, the voyage lasts 22.2 days at 12 knots, 19.0 days at 14 knots and 14.8 days at 18 knots. 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 Santos and Port Said 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 Santos to Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
