About the Jeddah to Genoa shipping route
Ships leaving Jeddah for Genoa head north west and cover a sea distance of 2,155 nautical miles (3,991 km), via Suez Canal. The straight line between the ports is 3,765 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Suez Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
Pure steaming time is 6.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 7.5 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 5.0. 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 Genoa to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,439 nm of the route, 67% of it, lies inside 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 Genoa move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Genoa (ITGOA) carriers give about 14 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, Genoa is the 7th shortest. Closer destinations include Marsaxlokk (1,667 nm), Salalah (1,354 nm) and Piraeus (1,312 nm).
