About the Felixstowe to Savannah shipping route
Felixstowe to Savannah is a 3,793 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading west from the United Kingdom to the United States. That is 7,025 km of water against 6,767 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 11.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 13.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 8.8. 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 Savannah to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,105 nm of the route, 55% of it, lies inside North American ECA and 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.
Container freight rates on Felixstowe to Savannah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Savannah (USSAV) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 61 port to port routes from Felixstowe in this directory, Savannah is the 16th shortest. Closer destinations include Charleston (3,739 nm), Mersin (3,297 nm) and New York (3,251 nm).
