Tanjung Priok to Gothenburg shipping route.

The shipping route from Tanjung Priok, Indonesia to Gothenburg, Sweden covers 9,090 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 10,872 km apart, so the ship sails 1.55 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Gibraltar and Sunda Strait, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.

At sea, the voyage lasts 31.6 days at 12 knots, 27.1 days at 14 knots and 21.0 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 Tanjung Priok and Gothenburg 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 11,841 nm instead of 9,090 nm and spends roughly 8.2 extra days at sea. Ask your forwarder which routing the carrier uses: the booking price and the arrival date both depend on it.

2,789 nm of the route, 31% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA, Baltic Sea ECA and 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 Gothenburg move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gothenburg (SEGOT) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
