Singapore to Mundra shipping route.

Ships leaving Singapore for Mundra head north west and cover a sea distance of 2,845 nautical miles (5,269 km), via Strait of Malacca. The straight line between the ports is 4,391 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Malacca.

Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 8.5 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 9.9 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 6.6. 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 Mundra to plan the full ocean transit time.

The next option is via Sunda Strait, 3,638 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 Mundra move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Mundra (INMUN) carriers give about 3.95 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
