About the Genoa to Algeciras shipping route
The shipping route from Genoa, Italy to Algeciras, Spain covers 877 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 1,522 km apart, so the ship sails 1.07 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 2.6 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 3.0 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 2.0. 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 Genoa and Algeciras to plan the full ocean transit time.
877 nm of the route, 100% of it, lies inside 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.
