About the Sydney to Port Klang shipping route
Sydney to Port Klang is a 4,502 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Australia to Malaysia. That is 8,338 km of water against 6,628 km as the crow flies. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 13.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 15.6 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 10.4. Liner schedules on the lane quote 10 to 24 days port to port, because the services call at other ports and some transship.
