About the Mersin to Gothenburg shipping route

Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 11.3 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 13.2 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 8.8. 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 Mersin and Gothenburg to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,848 nm of the route, 75% 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 Mersin 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.
