When space tightens and rates climb, early planning is the difference between shipping and waiting.
Every year, the weeks before major retail seasons turn into a scramble. Feeder space out of Chattogram tightens first, and rates follow.
Why it gets hard
Demand for space rises faster than capacity. Carriers prioritise contracted volume, and spot bookings get squeezed. A container that sailed easily in March can wait days in September.
What to do early
- Book at least two to three weeks before the cargo ready date.
- Give your forwarder the packing list early so space can be secured.
- Consider sea-air as a release valve when ocean fills up.
How KWT helps
Space agreements with prime carriers mean we hold room when others cannot, and early bookings give us the room to protect your hub connection.
