When shipping from Sihanoukville to Atlanta, consider the impact of the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in buffer days to your schedules to mitigate delays from port congestion and weather disruptions. Arrange vessel space and equipment well in advance during peak periods, especially from July to October, to avoid capacity shortages.
