Consultant Park Geun-hwa advised before the consultations, "Logistics always requires preparation due to many unpredictable external variables such as disruptions in the Suez and Panama Canals," adding, "It is necessary to manage risks by exploring various routes, including not only maritime transport but also multimodal transport and continental railway-linked transport."

A representative from export company Y, who participated in the consultation, evaluated, "We recently contracted export volumes to the United States, and through the consulting, we received detailed information on transportation costs and durations to both the west and east coast ports, as well as seasonal characteristics, which helped us diversify transportation routes."

Park Seong-hwan, head of the Trade Promotion Headquarters at KITA, stated, "to support regional companies, which have relatively less information compared to the metropolitan area, we plan to expand consulting nationwide starting next month with the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions," revealing future plans.
