🔀 Alternatives

What ‘alternative’ means on this site

A different option for moving the same cargo to the same region. It does not mean cheaper: even when the benchmark is lower, transshipment, terminal, sailing schedule and inland haulage can change the total cost.

Alternative origin port: same destination and mode, different origin port
Alternative destination port: same origin port, another port in the same region
Alternative mode: ocean and air (only where both corridors are in the dossier)
Alternative carrier: same type, different alliance (no price ranking)

✅ What to check in the quotation

Ask whether the quote includes EU ETS and FuelEU surcharges and how they are calculated.
Check transshipment versus direct-call routing; both change reliability and transit time.
Verify local port charges at the discharge port against the terminal tariff.

The full 100-corridor table, 20ft estimates, port charges and sources are in the dossier and workbook.
