About the Port Said to Barcelona shipping route
Port Said to Barcelona is a 1,591 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north west from Egypt to Spain. That is 2,947 km of water against 2,904 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 4.7 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 5.5 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 3.7. 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 Port Said and Barcelona to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,591 nm of the route, 100% 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 Port Said to Barcelona move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Barcelona (ESBCN) carriers give about 6 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 Port Said in this directory, Barcelona is the 7th shortest. Closer destinations include Genoa (1,439 nm), Djibouti (1,376 nm) and Marsaxlokk (952 nm).
