Multi-Stop Shipping Route Planner
Plan multimodal sea, road, rail, and air shipping routes with live distance, transit times, and milestone tracking.
Build Shipping Route
Chain ocean ports, inland ICDs, rail terminals, and airports into a complete multimodal journey.
Sea, rail, and road legs in one plan
Chain ocean ports and inland points into a single journey. Ocean legs route over the shortest sea path, rail follows connected train corridors, and road legs follow the highway network, so the plan matches real logistics moves.
Draw it, measure it, and keep it
Every leg is drawn on an interactive map with total distance, transit time, and estimated carbon emissions. Plan and draw for free; sign in to save routes with milestones, dates, and a shareable PWRP reference.
What it means for your business
A clear, interactive route plan beats a disconnected lane description in an email.
Route planner FAQ
What is a shipping route planner?
A route planner lets you build a multi-stop journey between ports and inland points, then see the sea distance, transit time and the full path drawn on a map. Panvaya routes each ocean leg along the shortest navigable sea path and each road leg along real highways, so the plan reflects how cargo actually moves rather than a straight line between dots.
Who is the route planner for?
Anyone who moves goods or sells that movement: freight forwarders and NVOCCs quoting door-to-door lanes, importers and exporters planning delivery from factory to final warehouse, 3PLs and logistics teams mapping multi-stop and inland moves, and sales or customer-service teams who need a clear visual to share. It runs in the browser with no logistics software or setup.
How does the route planner help me?
It turns a shipment into a picture you can act on: see the whole door-to-door path end to end, get a realistic distance and transit time to quote lanes and set delivery dates, compare a normal routing against a Red Sea / Suez-avoiding one, and hand a clear, shareable plan to colleagues, customers or carriers instead of describing it in an email.
Can I plan a route with multiple stops?
Yes. Add an origin, any number of intermediate stops and a destination. Each leg is routed on its own and the planner sums the total distance and time, so you can lay out a milk run, a transshipment via a hub, or a door-to-port move in a single view.
Does it plan both sea and land legs?
It does. Ocean legs follow the shortest sea path through the canals and straits ships actually use, and land legs follow the real road network. Pick the location type for each stop (sea port, land, rail or airport) so an inland city or ICD plots correctly, not just seaports.
What does the safe route option do?
Turning on the safe-route toggle reroutes every ocean leg around the Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb, Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal, so a Europe to Asia lane is planned around the Cape of Good Hope instead. The route redraws and the total distance and transit time update to match the longer routing.
Can I save and share a route?
Planning and drawing a route is free for everyone with no account needed. Sign in to save a route with per-stop milestones and dates and get a shareable reference, so you can reopen it later or send it to a customer or colleague.
How is the route planner different from the distance and time calculator?
The distance and time calculator answers one question fast: how far and how long between ports. The route planner is for building and keeping a plan, with multiple stops, milestones and dates, land legs as well as sea, and a saved, shareable route. Use the calculator for a quick number and the planner when you are laying out an actual journey.
