Great-circle estimate between port approaches. Real sea routes are longer — land masses, canals, and chokepoints are not included here. Voyage Intel Pro plans actual routes with weather and safety logic.

How it works

What this estimate means — and what it doesn't.

Great-circle distance

The shortest path over the Earth's surface between port approach coordinates, computed with the haversine formula and reported in nautical miles and kilometres.

Transit-time estimate

Distance divided by the service speed you select — a planning approximation only, not a schedule. Weather, currents, traffic separation schemes, and port approaches all affect real voyages.

Not a route plan

Sea routes must round land and pass through canals and chokepoints, so real distances are longer than a great-circle line. Operational voyage planning is what Voyage Intel Pro is built for.
