How is Ocean Transit Time Calculated?
Container ships typically travel at 16–20 knots (about 30–37 km/h). Transit time depends on the ocean distance, the shipping route taken, port congestion, and weather. Most trans-Pacific routes take 12–18 days, while Asia-to-Europe routes via the Suez Canal take 25–35 days.
Direct vs Transshipment
Direct services travel straight from origin to destination with no stops, offering faster transit. Transshipment routes stop at intermediate hub ports (e.g., Singapore, Port Klang) to transfer cargo, adding 3–7 days but serving more destinations.
