This maritime pathway allows for the efficient movement of bulk apparel, ensuring that garments arrive in optimal condition.

Additionally, the ocean transport offers a lower environmental impact compared to air freight, aligning with sustainable supply chain practices.

Book vessel space well in advance during peak periods, such as the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February), to avoid capacity shortages. Expect extended transit times due to weather-related disruptions and modify schedules accordingly, especially during typhoon season (June-November) and the peak retail shipping window (October-December).
