About the Jeddah to Antwerp shipping route
The shipping route from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to Antwerp, Belgium covers 4,005 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 4,466 km apart, so the ship sails 1.66 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar and Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 11.9 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 13.9 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.3. 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 Jeddah and Antwerp to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,333 nm of the route, 58% 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 Jeddah to Antwerp move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Antwerp (BEANR) 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 Jeddah in this directory, Antwerp is the 21st shortest. Closer destinations include Durban (3,964 nm), London Gateway (3,954 nm) and Felixstowe (3,953 nm).
