About the Piraeus to Genoa shipping route
Ships leaving Piraeus for Genoa head north west and cover a sea distance of 905 nautical miles (1,675 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,423 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
At sea, the voyage lasts 3.1 days at 12 knots, 2.7 days at 14 knots and 2.1 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 Piraeus and Genoa to plan the full ocean transit time.
900 nm of the route, 99% of it, lies inside 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 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.
