About the Piraeus to Gdansk shipping route
The shipping route from Piraeus, Greece to Gdansk, Poland covers 3,661 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 1,867 km apart, so the ship sails 3.63 times the straight line distance. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
At sea, the voyage lasts 12.7 days at 12 knots, 10.9 days at 14 knots and 8.5 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.

2,704 nm of the route, 74% of it, lies inside North Sea ECA, Baltic 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 Gdansk move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Gdansk (PLGDN) carriers give about 7.5 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
