At sea, the voyage lasts 19.3 days at 12 knots, 16.5 days at 14 knots and 12.9 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.

2,441 nm of the route, 44% 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 Charleston 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.
