About the Savannah to Barcelona shipping route
Ships leaving Savannah for Barcelona head north east and cover a sea distance of 4,230 nautical miles (7,834 km), on a direct course. The straight line between the ports is 7,207 km; coastlines and shipping lanes add the rest. On the way the vessel passes Strait of Gibraltar.
Pure steaming time is 12.6 days at 14 knots. A carrier that slow steams at 12 knots to save fuel needs 14.7 days, and a fast 18 knot string about 9.8. 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 Savannah and Barcelona to plan the full ocean transit time.
1,115 nm of the route, 26% 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 Savannah 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 64 port to port routes from Savannah in this directory, Barcelona is the 18th shortest. Closer destinations include Valencia (4,091 nm), Hamburg (4,042 nm) and Bremerhaven (3,995 nm).
