About the Barcelona to Montreal shipping route
Barcelona to Montreal is a 3,826 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Spain to Canada. That is 7,086 km of water against 5,900 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 13.3 days at 12 knots, 11.4 days at 14 knots and 8.9 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 Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,621 nm of the route, 42% 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 Barcelona 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.
Of the 64 port to port routes from Barcelona in this directory, Montreal is the 21st shortest. Closer destinations include New York (3,732 nm), Lagos (Apapa) (3,712 nm) and Salalah (3,628 nm).
