Dear Customers,
Forbis Logistics would like to inform you about the current situation affecting maritime operations between China and South America, generating a sustained increase in international fleet costs.
In recent months, we have observed a significant increase in freight rates due to various factors impacting global logistics stability, including:
- Port congestion in both Asia and South America.
- Reduction in operating capacity by shipping companies.
- Route rescheduling and shortages of available containers.
- Geopolitical instability, such as the conflict in the Red Sea, which has disrupted alternative routes.
These conditions are generating direct impacts on the logistics chain, such as higher costs, less predictable delivery times, and additional pressure on contract and commercial commitment compliance.
Key Recommendations:
Forbis recommends adopting preventive and strategic management to mitigate these risks:
- Advanced cargo planning.
- Diversification of routes and logistics providers.
- Rate review and renegotiation of terms with a medium-term focus.
- Evaluation of logistics alternatives based on destination and cargo.
We appreciate your trust in us and rest assured that we are here to support you at all times. For any questions or more information, please do not hesitate to contact your sales representative at the following email address: marketing@forbislogistics.com
