Shippers – the companies paying Ocean, Rail, and Truck carriers to transport their goods – can do little to speed shipments snarled by port congestion. But if shippers can get a better handle on how long it will take their shipment to cross the Ocean and then move on to one of their facilities, they can work to mitigate the impact of delays.

When there’s more demand than supply, prices go up, as we saw in previous months with record -high prices for ocean and air cargo moves. We’ve seen extreme vessel capacity constraints with customers choosing to charter their own vessels or moving goods that they would historically move by ocean by the more expensive air mode.

Now, these shipments are being shifted to ocean and air, radically reducing rail shipments. Given that now the ocean carriers are avoiding several of the major Russian ports, the reroutings are further straining European ports. Such alternates should be based on the gaps in capabilities identified while redesigning the supply chain.
