About the Felixstowe to Gdansk shipping route
Felixstowe to Gdansk is a 933 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading east from the United Kingdom to Poland. That is 1,728 km of water against 1,183 km as the crow flies. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
At sea, the voyage lasts 3.2 days at 12 knots, 2.8 days at 14 knots and 2.2 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 Felixstowe and Gdansk to plan the full ocean transit time.
933 nm of the route, 100% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA and Baltic 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 Felixstowe to Gdansk move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gdansk (PLGDN) carriers give about 7.5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
