About the Genoa to Montreal shipping route
Genoa to Montreal is a 4,158 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Italy to Canada. That is 7,700 km of water against 6,183 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 12.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 14.4 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.6. 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 Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,953 nm of the route, 47% of it, lies inside North American 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 Montreal move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Montreal (CAMTR) carriers give about 3 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, Montreal is the 22nd shortest. Closer destinations include New York (4,064 nm), Lagos (Apapa) (4,043 nm) and Salalah (3,476 nm).
