About the Savannah to New York shipping route
Savannah to New York is a 699 nautical mile shipping route on a direct course, heading north east from the United States to the United States. That is 1,295 km of water against 1,148 km as the crow flies. No canals or major straits on this leg, the ship stays close to the direct line.
Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 2.1 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 2.4 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 1.6. 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 Savannah and New York to plan the full ocean transit time.
699 nm of the route, 100% of it, lies inside North American 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 New York move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At New York (USNYC) carriers give about 4 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
