Pure steaming time is 11.2 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 13.1 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 8.7. 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 Singapore and Djibouti to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 4,515 nautical miles, 738 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Sunda Strait is congested or closed.
Container freight rates on Singapore to Djibouti move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Djibouti (DJJIB) carriers give about 10 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
