About the Tokyo to Yantian shipping route
The shipping route from Tokyo, Japan to Yantian, China covers 1,602 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 2,858 km apart, so the ship sails 1.04 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 4.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 5.6 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.7. 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 Tokyo and Yantian to plan the full ocean transit time.
