The Brief #11: A debate on air freight versus sea freight: Which should you choose?
For clients who ship cargo overseas, the choice of whether to use sea freight or air freight will depend on a few factors, including: - Distance - Type of cargo - Time sensitivity - Cost consideration - Cargo safety - Accessibility A customer may have various requirements influencing their decision regarding the mode of transport to be used, but essentially, it comes down to the nature of the freight, the time frame and how much the shipper is willing and able to spend....

The Brief #10: Should BAF be included in the freight rate or be a variable fee?
BAF is the abbreviation for Bunker Adjustment Factor. The term "Bunker" refers to the Fuel that is used to operate ships. The ship operator is responsible for the payment of these bunkers to the bunker supplier. As fuel prices are quite volatile, the shipping lines charge a fee called "Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF)" to cover the fluctuations in global bunker costs. BAF is charged either as a separate charge or included in the freight charge depending on the trade route and agreement between the carrier and the shipper/BCO.

The Brief #9: Should I hedge my bets and sign short-term shipping contracts?
There are a few pros and cons to going short term, but it’s more a matter of whether you ‘can’ leverage a short-term market or not. And, you have to consider all, both from organizational and operational point of views. Moreover, the definition of short-term is also subjective. To shippers who are used to long-term tenders of 2 years or over, short-term might be 6-12 months. But to others who are used to negotiating rates every quarter or twice a year, short term might be a 30-day rate validity. For shipping lines, short-term could mean a month or less. In some e...

The Brief #7: Should I benchmark my shipping freight rates against the competition?
Should I benchmark my shipping freight rates against the competition? Yes, of course. How else do you know if you have received a competitive rate from your supplier? You need to know how your rates compare to your peers, the market, in order to make sane freight procurement decisions. In the current market, carriers are placing more focus on reducing their costs and increasing their bottom line through mergers and acquisitions, shipping alliances and other factors. When coupled with socio-economic factors it is in many cases difficult to keep up with how container market rates are moving. The Importance of...

The Brief #6: How do alliances affect my rates and service contract with a carrier?
An alliance is a grouping of ocean carriers joining forces to operate ships on some trade routes. Only the vessels and its operations are shared, and there is no commercial terms being shared. As of April 2017, three major shipping alliances (one new, one re-aligned after a big merger and one re-aligned after a major takeover) have been dominating container liner operations. 2M – MSC; Maersk; HMM (on slot purchase) Ocean Alliance - CMA-CGM; Cosco Group; OOCL; Evergreen THE Alliance - Hapag Lloyd; NYK; Yang Ming; MOL; K-Line As mentioned, in an alliance commercial information is never officially shared.

The Brief #5: Should I agree to prices “subject to GRI” or “subject to peak season surcharge”?
In the case of agreeing to prices “subject to GRI” or “subject to peak season surcharge”?, the first question to ask is – “Do you have a choice?”, especially if you ship on the spot market. The reason is that GRI (General Rate Increase) or PSS (Peak Season Surcharge) is something that the shipping lines implement, whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not. However, as with any rule, there are exceptions. Depending on your committed volume with the carrier, the relationship that you have with the carrier and the support that you give the carrier, you may be able to neg...

In this regard, the question could be whether you should choose a carrier based on trade lane or choose carrier based on global volume? The answer to this question lies in the trade lane. Although there are several global carriers such as Maersk, MSC, CMA-CGM, etc. These global...

The Brief #3: Will I leave money on the table with 12-month fixed rates?
"Leaving money on the table" is an idiom which signifies someone not getting or saving money that they could be. This idiom is thought to have originated from poker wherein if you don’t play intelligently, you may be leaving your money on the poker table. This expression is quite widely used in negotiations. But does it apply to ocean freight rate negotiations? Definitely. Ocean freight rate negotiation is an art and if not done correctly, you could be leaving money on the table. If you consider a 12-month fixed ocean freight rate, is it possible that you may be le...

Those operating in the Far East - US West Coast (USWC) trade saw rates in Jan-18 30.5% lower than the same period of 2017.

Far East - North West Europe 2017 was a positive year for carriers, with rates during the first six months on the FE - NWE route in particular, at healthy levels. However, as the market entered Q4, weakness began to materialize. Although carriers were able to lift rates in the run up to Chinese New Year in Feb-18, which is not unusual, a prolonged slump in rates sent them tumbling from $1,734 FEU to around $1,208 FEU, reflecting a decline of 30.3%.

When there are stability and continuity of business, Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCO) may opt for a service contract. But then, of course, perceptions of stability and business continuity are relative as these could disappear in a flash as we have seen over the years.

Knowing when is the best time to negotiate freight rates depends on who you are as an entity and what is most suitable for you, for your business and for your supply chain. No general time frame suits everyone for the negotiation of ocean freight rates. For example, if you are a seller trading with a buyer in a new country, then the best time for you to benchmark and negotiate ocean freight rates is BEFORE you finalize the trade deal or the sales contract. This would be important as the ocean freight rates, and the associated charges that you...
