About the Tanjung Priok to New York shipping route
Tanjung Priok to New York is a 10,461 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north from Indonesia to the United States. That is 19,374 km of water against 16,166 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.
At sea, the voyage lasts 36.3 days at 12 knots, 31.1 days at 14 knots and 24.2 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 New York 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 12,025 nautical miles, 1,563 more, and adds about 4.7 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.
2,777 nm of the route, 27% of it, lies inside North American 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 New York move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At New York (USNYC) carriers give about 4 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, New York is the 58th shortest. Closer destinations include Gdansk (9,486 nm), Manzanillo (9,217 nm) and Gothenburg (9,090 nm).
