When planning shipments from La Guaira, Venezuela to Fortaleza, Brazil, account for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April), as both can cause delays. Allow for extra buffer days to absorb potential disruptions, especially during peak periods (August-October, December-March). Additionally, reserve vessel space well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and stay updated on weather conditions, as heavy rainfall can impact operations (October-March).
