Understanding Sailing Time Calculations

Calculating sailing time between ports involves multiple factors that affect voyage duration. Our calculator uses industry-standard methodologies to provide accurate estimates for maritime professionals worldwide.

Distance Calculation

We use great circle distance calculations to determine the shortest navigable route between ports. This method accounts for the Earth's curvature for accurate distance measurement.

Vessel Performance

Different vessel types have varying speed capabilities. Container ships are typically fastest, while bulk carriers and tankers travel slower. Actual speed depends on vessel condition and load.

Environmental Factors

Weather, currents, and sea conditions significantly impact sailing times. Favorable conditions can reduce voyage time by up to 15%, while adverse conditions can increase it by 25% or more.
