How do I prepare my supply chain for peak season?
Short answer
Share forecasts with your forwarder early, book space well ahead, stay flexible on ports and sailing dates, make sure cargo is ready before the container arrives, and keep some buffer stock for delays.
The detail
Space and equipment get tight and rates can rise in busy periods, so early planning keeps more options open.
Rolled bookings often start with cargo that isn't ready on time.
