Navigating Ocean Logistics Challenges

Plan Strategically for Peak Season (July-October)

As valued partners in logistics, we want to provide you with crucial insights into the current dynamics affecting ocean transportation and the potential impact on your supply chain.

The established Red Sea diversion routes have offered clarity in supply chain planning. However, the extended duration of these diversions is a key consideration for peak season strategizing.

Why is this important? The prolonged transit times increase global twenty-foot equivalent unit miles by 16%, leading to a corresponding 16% surge in the need for capacity.

Strategic Planning for Peak Season (July-October)

With manufacturing orders down and containers spending more time on the water, securing your cargo's timely movement becomes paramount. We strongly advise companies to commence planning for the upcoming peak season in the next few months.

Key considerations:

1. Evaluate the need for a robust multi carrier strategy.
2. Anticipate higher freight rates and plan accordingly.

Critical Months Ahead: Be Nimble and Prepared

As the next few months are critical, we urge you to:

1. Evaluate your chosen routes for imports.
2. Assess container availability on specific routes.
3. Stay nimble and prepared to adapt to changing dynamics.
