About the Yantian to Jeddah shipping route
Ships leaving Yantian for Jeddah head west and cover a sea distance of 5,843 nautical miles (10,822 km), via Strait of Malacca. The straight line between the ports is 7,651 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Malacca.
Pure steaming time is 17.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 20.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 13.5. 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 Yantian and Jeddah to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Sunda Strait, 6,427 nautical miles, 584 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Bab-el-Mandeb is congested or closed.
Container freight rates on Yantian 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.
