About the Gdansk to Antwerp shipping route
Gdansk to Antwerp is a 937 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading west from Poland to Belgium. That is 1,735 km of water against 1,022 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 3.3 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 Gdansk and Antwerp 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 Gdansk to Antwerp move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Antwerp (BEANR) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Gdansk in this directory, Antwerp is the 6th shortest. Closer destinations include Felixstowe (933 nm), Rotterdam (885 nm) and Hamburg (785 nm).
