When shipping from New Orleans to Buenos Aires, be mindful of the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible port windows. During peak periods, secure alternative ports of refuge to mitigate unexpected delays. Additionally, prepare for congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June); thus, reserve vessel space well in advance. Lastly, during the Southern Ocean storm season (May-September), allow for extended transit times and potential route adjustments.
