About the Gothenburg to Montreal shipping route
The shipping route from Gothenburg, Sweden to Montreal, Canada covers 3,191 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 5,647 km apart, so the ship sails 1.05 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 11.1 days at 12 knots, 9.5 days at 14 knots and 7.4 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 Gothenburg and Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,574 nm of the route, 49% of it, lies inside North American ECA and North 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 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 Gothenburg in this directory, Montreal is the 14th shortest. Closer destinations include Marsaxlokk (2,816 nm), Genoa (2,692 nm) and Barcelona (2,360 nm).
