How can Supply Chains Overcome Port Congestions?

Splitting bulk orders and shipping them to different nearby ports helps overcome congestion. [{ "selector": ".rrxba-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 438px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

An efficient supply chain can stagger order quantities' arrival dates, preventing complete stock-outs and managing the impact of congestion. [{ "selector": ".jfrjb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 406px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Carriers utilize blank sailings, skipping congested ports to sail directly to the next destination. This affects various stakeholders and leads to revenue loss for the port. [{ "selector": ".fdgro-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 366px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Modern supply chains have become more flexible, resorting to overland transport or air freight to address congestion. [{ "selector": ".oztqw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 422px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Opting for multiple nearby ports can help mitigate congestion risks, allowing cargo to be received from alternate locations. [{ "selector": ".tmrki-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 421px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

While splitting orders to different ports might be more expensive, it could be advantageous compared to having all cargo stuck in one congested port. [{ "selector": ".bqgln-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 398px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Utilizing overland transit to bring goods from nearby ports can be a workaround for congestion-related delays. [{ "selector": ".griuj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 418px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Air freight is another option to ensure timely delivery and avoid congestion-related disruptions. [{ "selector": ".ttqwr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 402px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
