About the Yantian to Qingdao shipping route
The shipping route from Yantian, China to Qingdao, China covers 1,109 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 1,610 km apart, so the ship sails 1.28 times the straight line distance. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
Pure steaming time is 3.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 3.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 2.6. 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 Qingdao to plan the full ocean transit time.
