About the Antwerp to Marsaxlokk shipping route
Ships leaving Antwerp for Marsaxlokk head south east and cover a sea distance of 2,365 nautical miles (4,380 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,892 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 8.2 days at 12 knots, 7.0 days at 14 knots and 5.5 days at 18 knots. 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 Antwerp and Marsaxlokk to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,409 nm of the route, 60% of it, lies inside North Sea 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 Antwerp to Marsaxlokk move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Marsaxlokk (MTMAR) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
