About the Singapore to Karachi shipping route
Ships leaving Singapore for Karachi head north west and cover a sea distance of 2,999 nautical miles (5,555 km), via Strait of Malacca. The straight line between the ports is 4,753 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Malacca.
Pure steaming time is 8.9 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 10.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 6.9. 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 Karachi to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 3,793 nautical miles, 793 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Sunda Strait is congested or closed.
Container freight rates on Singapore to Karachi move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Karachi (PKKHI) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
