About the Port Said to Montreal shipping route
The shipping route from Port Said, Egypt to Montreal, Canada covers 5,206 nautical miles port to port, on a direct course. On a globe the two ports sit 8,681 km apart, so the ship sails 1.11 times the straight line distance. 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 15.5 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 18.1 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 12.1. 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 Montreal to plan the full ocean transit time.
3,001 nm of the route, 58% 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 Port Said 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.
