Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Schedules

How far in advance should international buyers book vessel space?

We recommend locking in ocean bookings 2 to 3 weeks prior to Target Cargo Ready Date (CRD), especially during peak shipping seasons (August–October & Pre-Lunar New Year).

What happens if a vessel encounters port blank sailings or delays?

Our 4GL logistics system automatically reroutes urgent cargo to alternative ocean carriers or transships via air-sea multimodal services to guarantee delivery deadlines.
