About the Barcelona to Gothenburg shipping route
Barcelona to Gothenburg is a 2,360 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north from Spain to Sweden. That is 4,371 km of water against 1,948 km as the crow flies. 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 Barcelona and Gothenburg to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,408 nm of the route, 60% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA, Baltic 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 Barcelona to Gothenburg move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gothenburg (SEGOT) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 64 port to port routes from Barcelona in this directory, Gothenburg is the 15th shortest. Closer destinations include Jeddah (2,307 nm), Hamburg (2,182 nm) and Bremerhaven (2,135 nm).
