How it travels
The estimated sea route between Hamburg and Novorossiysk (Russia) is 4,051 nautical miles (7,502 km) long: ≈ 9.5–12 days at sea (at 18 and 14 knots).
Passages it crosses: Strait of Dover, Strait of Gibraltar, Dardanelles and Bosporus.
Kazakhstan is landlocked: it ships through Novorossiysk (Russia).
Sailing estimate without port calls, waiting or transshipment; not a schedule. One main reference port per country: in large countries it does not represent all of its ports.
Split by transport mode
Mode estimated from value per kilo and geography; both directions together.

Methodology
Goods trade from CEPII BACI (BACI_HS92_V202601), in current US dollars, with exports and imports reconciled between countries. The transport mode is our own estimate based on value per kilo and geography. The sea route comes from our own network derived from World Bank shipping density (not from nautical charts), between one main reference port per country (World Port Index); days are the distance at 14 and 18 knots, without port calls or waiting. Data up to 2024.
