Segon-Marill International Movers would like to inform our clients of the current market conditions affecting container availability during the ongoing export season.
Market Update
Due to ongoing global shipping network disruptions — including route adjustments linked to the current Middle East crisis — container availability on several trade lanes, including routes into and out of Djibouti, is currently constrained. This is further intensified during the ongoing export season, when demand for 20ft containers is already elevated.
What This Means for Shipments
- Booking lead times may be longer than usual.
- Some shipments may require schedule adjustments depending on container availability.
- Availability can vary by trade lane and shipment timing, particularly during peak periods.
Segon-Marill is actively coordinating with carriers and partners to secure equipment and optimize shipment planning, helping to minimize potential disruptions wherever possible.
Client Guidance
To support smooth shipment execution during this period, we recommend:
- Advance Planning: Share shipment details as early as possible to facilitate timely booking.
- Flexible Scheduling: Where feasible, allow flexibility in shipping dates to improve allocation options.
- Ongoing Coordination: Stay in close contact with your Segon-Marill representative for real-time updates and planning support.
Segon-Marill International Movers remains committed to keeping clients informed and supporting efficient shipment planning during peak seasonal demand. We appreciate your continued cooperation.
