About the Singapore to Oakland shipping route
Singapore to Oakland is a 7,442 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from Singapore to the United States. That is 13,783 km of water against 13,597 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 25.8 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. Add terminal time at Singapore and Oakland to plan the full ocean transit time.
348 nm of the route, 5% 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.
Container freight rates on Singapore to Oakland move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Oakland (USOAK) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 64 port to port routes from Singapore in this directory, Oakland is the 42nd shortest. Closer destinations include Vancouver (7,193 nm), Seattle (7,171 nm) and Algeciras (6,997 nm).
