About the New York to Genoa shipping route
New York to Genoa is a 4,064 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from the United States to Italy. That is 7,526 km of water against 6,501 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 14.1 days at 12 knots, 12.1 days at 14 knots and 9.4 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 New York and Genoa to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,729 nm of the route, 43% 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 New York to Genoa move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Genoa (ITGOA) carriers give about 14 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
