About the Xiamen to Yokohama shipping route
Ships leaving Xiamen for Yokohama head north east and cover a sea distance of 1,336 nautical miles (2,473 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 2,402 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 4.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 4.6 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.1. 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 Xiamen and Yokohama to plan the full ocean transit time.
Container freight rates on Xiamen to Yokohama move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Yokohama (JPYOK) carriers give about 8 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
