When shipping from Wuhan, China to La Guaira, Venezuela, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and peak river flooding (June-September). Allow for extra buffer days for port operations and confirm flexible routing options to mitigate weather-related disruptions. Additionally, plan for increased demand during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5), which may lead to tighter vessel space and longer transit times.
