About the Genoa to Le Havre shipping route
Genoa to Le Havre is a 2,062 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Italy to France. That is 3,819 km of water against 874 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 6.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 7.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 4.8. 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 Le Havre to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,110 nm of the route, 54% 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 Le Havre move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Le Havre (FRLEH) 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, Le Havre is the 8th shortest. Closer destinations include Mersin (1,474 nm), Port Said (1,439 nm) and Piraeus (905 nm).
