What This Means for Your Supply Chain

Simulation Suggestion

immediate

What if truck availability in Chile drops by 30-40 percent for two weeks?

Simulate a scenario where Chilean ground transport capacity decreases significantly due to the fuel strike, affecting salmon cold chain movements from production sites to export hubs. Model alternative routing through neighboring countries or increased reliance on air freight.
