About the London Gateway to Montreal shipping route
London Gateway to Montreal is a 3,089 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from the United Kingdom to Canada. That is 5,722 km of water against 5,258 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 9.2 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 10.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 7.2. 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 London Gateway and Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,389 nm of the route, 45% of it, lies inside North American ECA and North 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 London Gateway to Montreal move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Montreal (CAMTR) carriers give about 3 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 61 port to port routes from London Gateway in this directory, Montreal is the 11th shortest. Closer destinations include Piraeus (2,762 nm), Marsaxlokk (2,314 nm) and Genoa (2,190 nm).
