The sailing speed of a 5000-ton ship

Depending on the type of cargo ship, the speed is different. For example, for a 5000-ton bulk carrier, in order to carry more cargo, the ship type is generally fat, so the speed is relatively slow, generally at 15 knots, which is equivalent to 27 kilometers per hour.

If it is a 5,000-ton container ship, it is generally required to have accurate sailing schedule, slender hull and fast speed, which is generally 20-25 knots, equivalent to 35-45 kilometers per hour.
