About the Mersin to Savannah shipping route
Mersin to Savannah is a 5,670 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Türkiye to the United States. That is 10,501 km of water against 9,856 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 16.9 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 19.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 13.1. 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 Savannah to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,555 nm of the route, 45% of it, lies inside North American 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 Savannah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Savannah (USSAV) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
