Additionally, book vessel space well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion. Monitor schedules for the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) to account for heavy rainfall and potential port slowdowns. Lastly, communicate closely with carriers during the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) for timely cargo handling and clearance.
