About the Jeddah to Gdansk shipping route
Jeddah to Gdansk is a 4,852 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north from Saudi Arabia to Poland. That is 8,987 km of water against 4,044 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal and Strait of Gibraltar, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 14.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 16.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 11.2. 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 Gdansk to plan the full ocean transit time.
3,185 nm of the route, 66% 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 Jeddah to Gdansk move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gdansk (PLGDN) carriers give about 7.5 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, Gdansk is the 30th shortest. Closer destinations include Cape Town (4,837 nm), Tanjung Priok (4,666 nm) and Gothenburg (4,456 nm).
