About the Manzanillo to Gdansk shipping route
Manzanillo to Gdansk is a 7,233 nautical mile shipping route via Panama Canal, heading north east from Mexico to Poland. That is 13,396 km of water against 10,225 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Panama Canal, so canal transit fees and waiting time at the canal are part of every voyage.
At sea, the voyage lasts 25.1 days at 12 knots, 21.5 days at 14 knots and 16.7 days at 18 knots. 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 Manzanillo and Gdansk to plan the full ocean transit time.
The next option is via Strait of Magellan, 13,166 nautical miles, 5,933 nm longer than the main route. Carriers pick it when Strait of Magellan is congested or closed.
1,025 nm of the route, 14% of it, lies inside US Caribbean Sea ECA, North Sea ECA and Baltic 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 Manzanillo 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 Manzanillo in this directory, Gdansk is the 39th shortest. Closer destinations include Marsaxlokk (7,060 nm), Dalian (7,045 nm) and Ningbo (7,023 nm).
