About the Port Said to Gdansk shipping route
Ships leaving Port Said for Gdansk head north and cover a sea distance of 4,137 nautical miles (7,661 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 2,791 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. 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 12.3 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 14.4 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 9.6. 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 Gdansk to plan the full ocean transit time.
3,185 nm of the route, 77% 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 Port Said 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.
Of the 65 port to port routes from Port Said in this directory, Gdansk is the 25th shortest. Closer destinations include Gothenburg (3,741 nm), Hamburg (3,562 nm) and Colombo (3,525 nm).
