About the Montreal to Antwerp shipping route
The shipping route from Montreal, Canada to Antwerp, Belgium covers 3,141 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 5,518 km apart, so the ship sails 1.05 times the straight line distance. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 10.9 days at 12 knots, 9.4 days at 14 knots and 7.3 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 Montreal and Antwerp to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,436 nm of the route, 46% 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 Montreal to Antwerp move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Antwerp (BEANR) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
