Ocean Transportation Rate Negotiation

Establish can quickly and efficiently help your organization obtain the most competitive ocean transportation rates from international shipping service providers. Each year Establish participates in the negotiations of in excess of $500 million in transportation contracts. We can make our experience quickly work for you.

Within a very short time — two to three weeks — we can:
  • Determine the target range for rates between origin points and destination points
  • Review and evaluate current ocean contracts and rates
  • Provide an assessment of the proposed rates and terms obtained from steamship lines and NVOCC's
  • Provide commentary and guidance on conditions to incorporate into future ocean contract negotiations
  • Participate in or lead the direct negotiations
  • Determine the cost implications of proposed rates
    • The first step is to examine our client’s historical and/or forecast shipping volumes. With those items in mind, our team establishes a target range for the rates by lane based upon our client experience, judgment and current market conditions.
