About the Seattle to Port Klang shipping route
Seattle to Port Klang is a 7,451 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from the United States to Malaysia. That is 13,798 km of water against 12,967 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 25.9 days at 12 knots, 22.2 days at 14 knots and 17.2 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.

548 nm of the route, 7% of it, lies inside North American 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.
