Protect Your Supply Chain from Red Sea Disruptions

YOUR CHALLENGE

Ongoing attacks in the Red Sea and delays in the Suez Canal have created major disruptions for global supply chains. With shipping detours adding weeks to transit times from countries like China, Vietnam and Asia to Europe, companies are facing increased risks of damage, contamination and delayed deliveries. Bureau Veritas CPS offers a comprehensive suite of services to help mitigate risks and protect your supply chain during this volatile period.

The Impact of Red Sea Disruptions

As the crisis continues in the Red Sea, companies have been forced to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding up to 3 weeks of sailing to routes between Asia and Europe. This is impacting over 30% of global consumer goods and doubling or tripling container spot rates. Retailers are rushing to pre-empt delays to spring collections. The disruptions also risk spreading to other strategic chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz if not addressed.

With sailing times extended and cargo sitting in extended storage or transit, products face higher exposure to threats like damage, mold, shrinkage, bacterial growth and rusting. Such quality issues can result in costly recalls or loss of brand reputation if defects reach consumers. Mitigating these extended storage and transit risks is critical amid ongoing supply chain volatility.

Manage Supply Chain Risks and Product Quality During Transport Disruptions with Our Solutions

Pre-Shipment Quality Assurance

Bureau Veritas CPS offers packaging testing and mold prevention services to verify shelf-life under extended storage and transit conditions, helping prevent product damage before shipping. Our specialists assess packaging material selection and closure to withstand varied climates and longer journeys at sea.

Extended Storage Risk Mitigation

Upon shipment arrival, our Extended Storage Risk Mitigation Program provides screening of product quality post-storage, focusing inspection on high-risk categories only. This helps avoid blanket re-inspection of all arriving orders and saves costs. The program also addresses warehouse management practices to control contamination risks during interim storage.

Tailored On-Site Inspections

To address uncertainties caused by disrupted schedules, Bureau Veritas CPS offers flexible on-site inspections tailored to your specific product and supply chain needs. Our global network of labs and auditors can deploy quickly to manufacturing locations for custom pre-shipment verification.

Build Long-Term Supply Chain Resilience

In the long-run, SUPPLY-R helps assess vulnerabilities across your entire supplier ecosystem through on-site verification and a digital risk indexing platform. This delivers transparency to locate single-points-of-failure and develop contingency strategies for future disruptive events.
