About the Haiphong to Gothenburg shipping route
The shipping route from Haiphong, Vietnam to Gothenburg, Sweden covers 10,126 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 8,329 km apart, so the ship sails 2.25 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Malacca and Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 30.1 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 35.2 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 23.4. 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 Haiphong and Gothenburg to plan the full ocean transit time.
The shortest route goes through the Red Sea. Since attacks on shipping began there in late 2023, many carriers send ships via Cape of Good Hope instead. That route is 13,470 nautical miles, 3,344 more, and adds about 10.0 days at 14 knots. Longer voyages burn more fuel and tie up more ships, which is why freight rates on Red Sea lanes jumped when the diversions started.
2,789 nm of the route, 28% 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 Haiphong to Gothenburg move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gothenburg (SEGOT) carriers give about 5 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 Haiphong in this directory, Gothenburg is the 55th shortest. Closer destinations include Hamburg (9,947 nm), Bremerhaven (9,901 nm) and Balboa (9,864 nm).
