About the Valencia to Jeddah shipping route
Valencia to Jeddah is a 2,384 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading east from Spain to Saudi Arabia. That is 4,414 km of water against 4,235 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 7.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 8.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 5.5. 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 Valencia and Jeddah to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,668 nm of the route, 70% 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 Valencia to Jeddah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Jeddah (SAJED) carriers give about 7 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 64 port to port routes from Valencia in this directory, Jeddah is the 15th shortest. Closer destinations include Gothenburg (2,221 nm), Hamburg (2,043 nm) and Bremerhaven (1,996 nm).
