About the Tanjung Priok to Algeciras shipping route
Tanjung Priok to Algeciras is a 7,274 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north west from Indonesia to Spain. That is 13,472 km of water against 12,407 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal and Sunda Strait, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 21.7 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 25.3 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 16.8. 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 Tanjung Priok and Algeciras to plan the full ocean transit time.
The shortest route goes through the Red Sea. Since attacks on shipping began there in late 2023, many carriers send ships via Cape of Good Hope instead. That route is 10,335 nautical miles, 3,061 more, and adds about 9.1 days at 14 knots. Longer voyages burn more fuel and tie up more ships, which is why freight rates on Red Sea lanes jumped when the diversions started.
1,925 nm of the route, 26% of it, lies inside Mediterranean Sea 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 Tanjung Priok to Algeciras move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Algeciras (ESALG) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Tanjung Priok in this directory, Algeciras is the 40th shortest. Closer destinations include Valencia (7,017 nm), Barcelona (6,940 nm) and Genoa (6,788 nm).
