About the Buenos Aires to Bremerhaven shipping route
Buenos Aires to Bremerhaven is a 6,594 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from Argentina to Germany. That is 12,213 km of water against 11,717 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 22.9 days at 12 knots, 19.6 days at 14 knots and 15.3 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.

629 nm of the route, 10% of it, lies inside North 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.
