An annual ocean freight plan helps recurring shippers connect sales forecasts, production schedules, peak-season capacity, logistics budgets, and US inventory.

Forecast shipment volume

• Review historical containers, cubic meters, seasonality, and major US destinations by month or quarter.
• Add expected promotions, new products, or customer programs to the volume forecast.

Build routing and capacity options

• Define a primary route for core destinations and keep alternate sailings or gateways available.
• Plan peak-season space earlier for predictable recurring volume.

Budget and review performance

• Include ocean, destination, storage, trucking, and exception costs in the annual logistics budget.
• Review actual cost, transit time, and disruptions each quarter and update the next planning cycle.
