About the Gdansk to Piraeus shipping route
Ships leaving Gdansk for Piraeus head south and cover a sea distance of 3,661 nautical miles (6,779 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,867 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 12.7 days at 12 knots, 10.9 days at 14 knots and 8.5 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 Piraeus to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,704 nm of the route, 74% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA, Baltic Sea 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 Gdansk to Piraeus move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Piraeus (GRPIR) carriers give about 6.75 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
