Newsfeed Update
Mid-August to mid-October is peak Atlantic hurricane season. Here is what that actually means for a project cargo schedule.
A named storm does not have to make direct landfall to disrupt a movement. Storm surge closes ports before arrival. Vessel operators reroute in advance of forecast tracks. Port workers stand down. An installation window that took months to coordinate can be lost before the storm is even 48 hours out.
The preparation that prevents this is straightforward: alternative discharge ports identified and pre-approved. Charter or booking windows adjusted either side of peak risk periods. Contingency triggers agreed with all stakeholders in advance.
The projects that come through it cleanest are never the lucky ones. They are the ones that planned ahead.
