About the Hamburg to Port Said shipping route
Hamburg to Port Said is a 3,562 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading south east from Germany to Egypt. That is 6,596 km of water against 3,054 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 12.4 days at 12 knots, 10.6 days at 14 knots and 8.2 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 Hamburg and Port Said to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,599 nm of the route, 73% of it, lies inside North 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 Hamburg to Port Said move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Port Said (EGPSD) carriers give about 9 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
