How it travels
The estimated sea route between Istanbul and Bandar Abbas (Iran) is 12,021 nautical miles (22,262 km) long: ≈ 28–36 days at sea (at 18 and 14 knots).
Because of the 2024 disruptions, traffic is split: 85% via the Dardanelles, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Cape of Good Hope (12,021 nautical miles); and 15% via the Dardanelles, the Suez Canal and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait (3,726 nautical miles).
Turkmenistan is landlocked: it ships through Bandar Abbas (Iran).
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.

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.
