Checklist for assessing the route
We recommend that businesses with cargo on this corridor check current port calls and cargo cut-off times before booking. A port’s inclusion in a service rotation does not, on its own, indicate that every cargo type or equipment request will be accepted. Assess inland transport, container availability and the consignee’s receiving schedule together. When comparing ocean freight options, have the origin and destination connections included in the same quotation alongside the main ocean leg.
