Arrange flexible berthing windows to mitigate congestion risks at the Suez Canal (January-March) and track marine forecasts closely during the Saharan dust season (June-August) for potential visibility issues. Additionally, account for the impact of the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) on transit times and plan for possible delays.
