About the Genoa to Jeddah shipping route
Genoa to Jeddah is a 2,155 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading south east from Italy to Saudi Arabia. That is 3,991 km of water against 3,765 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
At sea, the voyage lasts 7.5 days at 12 knots, 6.4 days at 14 knots and 5.0 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 Jeddah to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,439 nm of the route, 67% 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.
Container freight rates on Genoa to Jeddah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Jeddah (SAJED) carriers give about 7 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, Jeddah is the 9th shortest. Closer destinations include Le Havre (2,062 nm), Mersin (1,474 nm) and Port Said (1,439 nm).
