Via the Panama Canal or via the Cape of Good Hope

Via the Panama Canal (10,351 nm) is the shortest route, for Panamax and Neo-Panamax ships; the canal charges a transit fee. Via the Cape of Good Hope (14,530 nm, 4,179 nm or 12.4 days longer at 14 knots) is the route for ships too large for the canal laden, and the usual alternative when the canal is restricted or avoided, as during the Panama Canal draught limits of 2023–24. Canal waiting time is not included.
