Deliveries for U.S. retailer Tractor Supply Co have been delayed anywhere from two to 20-plus days as major container ship operators re-route vessels away from the Suez Canal, Colin Yankee, the company’s chief supply chain operator, said on Friday. Ocean carriers are also adding diversion surcharges on cargo routed away from the Suez Canal to a safer route around South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, according to Yankee. Higher shipping costs, extended travel times, and additional pain points, including reduced crossings on the drought-stricken Panama Canal, are leading Tractor Supply to “see potential for volume that was moving from Asia to the U.S. East Coast to shift to the U.S. West Coast throughout the year,” he told Reuters.
