About the Sydney to Port Said shipping route
Ships leaving Sydney for Port Said head west and cover a sea distance of 8,366 nautical miles (15,493 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 14,368 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal and Bab-el-Mandeb, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
At sea, the voyage lasts 29.0 days at 12 knots, 24.9 days at 14 knots and 19.4 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 Sydney and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
Red Sea security changes the sea distance on this lane. A ship sent via Cape of Good Hope sails 13,510 nm instead of 8,366 nm and spends roughly 15.3 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.
Container freight rates on Sydney to Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
