Piraeus is the largest port in Greece and a major gateway to the Balkans. It's also one of the few European ports where COSCO has a controlling stake. That matters for schedule reliability, but not always in your favor.
Here's what you can expect from major Chinese ports as of June 2026. Rates are port-to-port, all-in, excluding destination customs and delivery.
| Service | Origin | Transit time (days) | Rate (USD) | Rate (EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FCL 20GP | Shanghai | 26-30 | 1,850-2,240 | 1,700-2,060 |
| FCL 40HQ | Shanghai | 24-28 | 2,540-3,180 | 2,340-2,930 |
| FCL 40HQ | Shenzhen | 22-26 | 2,480-3,120 | 2,280-2,870 |
| FCL 40HQ | Ningbo | 25-29 | 2,600-3,220 | 2,390-2,960 |
| FCL 40HQ | Qingdao | 27-31 | 2,700-3,350 | 2,480-3,080 |
| LCL (per CBM) | Shanghai | 28-35 | 175-245 | 160-225 |
| LCL (per CBM) | Shenzhen | 26-33 | 170-240 | 155-220 |
These figures include ocean freight, origin THC, and documentation. They don't include destination THC, customs clearance, or trucking. For a 40HQ, destination charges at Piraeus run about EUR 350-450.
Transit time depends on the carrier. Maersk and MSC have weekly services from Shanghai to Piraeus. In April 2026, Maersk's AE7 service had an on-time rate of 76%, while MSC's Lion service was 69%. CMA CGM added a USD 130 per 40HQ peak season surcharge in May 2026. That's on top of the rates above.
So when someone asks 中国到比雷埃夫斯港海运时效多少钱, the answer isn't a single number. It's a range that moves with fuel, season, and how badly you need the cargo.
If you're shipping more than 15 CBM, FCL almost always wins. A 20GP holds about 28 CBM. A 40HQ holds 68 CBM. For 15 CBM, you'd pay for a 20GP at USD 1,850-2,240. LCL at 15 CBM would cost 15 x 200 = USD 3,000, plus destination fees. So FCL is cheaper and faster.
LCL makes sense for 1-10 CBM. Here's a realistic all-in cost for LCL from Shanghai to Piraeus door-to-door:
| CBM | Ocean freight + origin (USD) | Destination charges (USD) | Total (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 220 | 180 | 400 |
| 3 | 640 | 220 | 860 |
| 5 | 1,050 | 260 | 1,310 |
| 8 | 1,650 | 320 | 1,970 |
These are rough. LCL has minimum charges, usually 1 CBM or 1000 kg. If your cargo is dense, you'll pay by weight. For example, 1 CBM of machine parts weighing
