2,015 nm of the route, 39% 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 Savannah move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Savannah (USSAV) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
