About the New York to Savannah shipping route
The shipping route from New York, United States to Savannah, United States covers 699 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 1,148 km apart, so the ship sails 1.13 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 2.4 days at 12 knots, 2.1 days at 14 knots and 1.6 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.

699 nm of the route, 100% 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.
