About the Montreal to Felixstowe shipping route
Montreal to Felixstowe is a 3,088 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from Canada to the United Kingdom. That is 5,719 km of water against 5,293 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 7.1. 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 Montreal and Felixstowe to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,387 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 Montreal to Felixstowe move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Felixstowe (GBFXT) carriers give about 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 Montreal in this directory, Felixstowe is the 5th shortest. Closer destinations include Le Havre (2,966 nm), Savannah (2,101 nm) and Charleston (2,046 nm).
