Via the Suez Canal or via the Cape of Good Hope
Via the Suez Canal (9,712 nm) is the shortest route, for ships up to Suezmax size laden; the canal charges a transit fee. Via the Cape of Good Hope (13,056 nm, 3,344 nm or 10.0 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 Red Sea diversions since late 2023. Canal waiting time is not included.
