The challenge
Longer East Coast routings
Transshipment and Panama Canal disruption put additional pressure on delivery schedules.
Multiple transport stages
The customer wanted one point of contact instead of arranging separate providers for each leg.

Compare sailing options
ANL selected an ocean service with a more suitable schedule and shorter transit for the customer’s requirements.
Prepare clearance ahead of arrival
The team arranged clearance work in advance, targeting completion before vessel arrival.
Coordinate pickup and delivery
Appointments were planned around port availability and free-time deadlines.
Prepare an urgent-cargo alternative
For time-sensitive cargo, ANL proposed West Coast unloading and onward transport as an alternative to the East Coast ocean route.
