About the Montreal to Savannah shipping route
Ships leaving Montreal for Savannah head south west and cover a sea distance of 2,101 nautical miles (3,891 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,628 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals on this leg, the extra miles come from sailing around headlands and islands.
At sea, the voyage lasts 7.3 days at 12 knots, 6.3 days at 14 knots and 4.9 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 Savannah to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,087 nm of the route, 99% of it, lies inside North American 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 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.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Montreal in this directory, Savannah is the 3rd shortest. Closer destinations include Charleston (2,046 nm) and New York (1,524 nm).
