About the Montreal to Marsaxlokk shipping route
The shipping route from Montreal, Canada to Marsaxlokk, Malta covers 4,282 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 7,130 km apart, so the ship sails 1.11 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 12.7 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 14.9 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.9. 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 Marsaxlokk to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,077 nm of the route, 49% 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 Montreal to Marsaxlokk move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Marsaxlokk (MTMAR) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
