About the Piraeus to Montreal shipping route
Piraeus to Montreal is a 4,730 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Greece to Canada. That is 8,760 km of water against 7,596 km as the crow flies. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 14.1 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 16.4 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 10.9. 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 Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
2,521 nm of the route, 53% 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 Piraeus to Montreal move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Montreal (CAMTR) carriers give about 3 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Piraeus in this directory, Montreal is the 28th shortest. Closer destinations include New York (4,636 nm), Lagos (Apapa) (4,616 nm) and Colombo (4,122 nm).
