Via the Suez Canal Via the Cape of Good Hope Tanger Med / Taicang

Via the Suez Canal or via the Cape of Good Hope

Via the Suez Canal (9,231 nm) is the shortest route, for ships up to Suezmax size laden; the canal charges a transit fee. Via the Cape of Good Hope (12,858 nm, 3,627 nm or 10.8 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.
