About the Gothenburg to Genoa shipping route
Gothenburg to Genoa is a 2,692 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south from Sweden to Italy. That is 4,986 km of water against 1,494 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 8.0 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 9.3 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 6.2. 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 Gothenburg and Genoa to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,740 nm of the route, 65% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA, Baltic 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 Gothenburg to Genoa move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Genoa (ITGOA) carriers give about 14 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 Gothenburg in this directory, Genoa is the 12th shortest. Closer destinations include Barcelona (2,360 nm), Valencia (2,221 nm) and Algeciras (1,837 nm).
