When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Port Klang, Malaysia, expect significant delays due to Brazil's wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risks (November-April). Add extra buffer days to schedules and avoid tight transshipment connections. Lock in vessel space well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to mitigate congestion.
