The port distance tool finds the shortest route on a sea-lane network and shows Suez, Panama, Gibraltar and strait passages. Distance is the starting point for voyage time, fuel and freight calculations.
Expert tip: Exclude a canal to see the alternative route’s distance; canal tolls and waiting time sometimes make the longer route more economical.
