About the Jeddah to Gothenburg shipping route
The shipping route from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to Gothenburg, Sweden covers 4,456 nautical miles port to port, via Suez Canal. On a globe the two ports sit 4,588 km apart, so the ship sails 1.80 times the straight line distance. 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 13.3 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 15.5 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 10.3. 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 Gothenburg to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,789 nm of the route, 63% 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 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 Jeddah in this directory, Gothenburg is the 27th shortest. Closer destinations include Singapore (4,389 nm), Hamburg (4,278 nm) and Bremerhaven (4,231 nm).
