About the Tanjung Priok to London Gateway shipping route
Tanjung Priok to London Gateway is a 8,588 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north west from Indonesia to the United Kingdom. That is 15,904 km of water against 11,670 km as the crow flies. 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.
Pure steaming time is 25.6 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 29.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 19.9. 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 London Gateway 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 11,338 nm instead of 8,588 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.
2,286 nm of the route, 27% of it, lies inside North 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 London Gateway move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At London Gateway (GBLGP) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
