About the Port Said to Piraeus shipping route
Ships leaving Port Said for Piraeus head north west and cover a sea distance of 597 nautical miles (1,105 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 1,085 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Pure steaming time is 1.8 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 2.1 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 1.4. 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 Piraeus to plan the full ocean transit time.
597 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 Piraeus move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Piraeus (GRPIR) carriers give about 6.75 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, Piraeus is the 2nd shortest. Closer destinations include Mersin (371 nm).
