Yrs I am absolutely an expert. It’s what I do for a living and I’m damned good at it. I’m chasing 47 containers now which were both stuck in LA ports or were transshipped through Suez or Panama.
So you don’t know who makes the decision to divert. That’s clear. OK here you go…
It’s the Route traffic Director for Asia Pacific Operations. Ask for Routes TP1,2,6,X. Nice Australian chick who will tell you you’re pretty well fvcked unless you want to pay $900K… and that fee has to be distributed between all the container owners.
That’s your first hurdle. Now the decision is made. Then what? I’ll still have to give you a hint. What do you know about reservations wait for transitting the worlds busiest and slowest canal?? Locks and locomotives and shit. Doubling the traffic?
after we choose an arrival port we’ll get to the next question.
