About the Algeciras to Montreal shipping route
Algeciras to Montreal is a 3,303 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Spain to Canada. That is 6,117 km of water against 5,652 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 9.8 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 11.5 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 7.6. Container transit time on a liner service is longer than the steaming time: ships call at other ports on the rotation, and cargo may transship at a hub. Add terminal time at Algeciras and Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,098 nm of the route, 33% of it, lies inside North American ECA and Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.
Container freight rates on Algeciras to Montreal move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Montreal (CAMTR) carriers give about 3 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
