About the Gothenburg to Savannah shipping route
Gothenburg to Savannah is a 3,961 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading west from Sweden to the United States. That is 7,335 km of water against 7,213 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 13.8 days at 12 knots, 11.8 days at 14 knots and 9.2 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 Savannah to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,333 nm of the route, 59% 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 Savannah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Savannah (USSAV) carriers give about 4 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, Savannah is the 20th shortest. Closer destinations include Charleston (3,906 nm), Mersin (3,800 nm) and Port Said (3,741 nm).
