About the Genoa to Hamburg shipping route
Genoa to Hamburg is a 2,513 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north from Italy to Germany. That is 4,655 km of water against 1,018 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 8.7 days at 12 knots, 7.5 days at 14 knots and 5.8 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 Genoa and Hamburg to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,551 nm of the route, 62% of it, lies inside North 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 Genoa to Hamburg move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Hamburg (DEHAM) carriers give about 3.83 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 Genoa in this directory, Hamburg is the 15th shortest. Closer destinations include Bremerhaven (2,467 nm), Rotterdam (2,260 nm) and Antwerp (2,241 nm).
