About the Antwerp to Port Said shipping route
Antwerp to Port Said is a 3,289 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south east from Belgium to Egypt. That is 6,092 km of water against 3,183 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 9.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 11.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 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 Antwerp and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,333 nm of the route, 71% 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 Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 61 port to port routes from Antwerp in this directory, Port Said is the 12th shortest. Closer destinations include Montreal (3,141 nm), Piraeus (2,813 nm) and Marsaxlokk (2,365 nm).
