About the Piraeus to Antwerp shipping route
Piraeus to Antwerp is a 2,813 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Greece to Belgium. That is 5,210 km of water against 2,109 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 8.4 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 9.8 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 6.5. 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 Piraeus and Antwerp to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,853 nm of the route, 66% of it, lies inside North Sea 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 Piraeus to Antwerp move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Antwerp (BEANR) carriers give about 5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
