π Alternatives
What βalternativeβ 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)
Alternative destination ports in the same region
| Corridor | Benchmark | Range | Transit | vs this corridor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Busan β Cape Town | $4,760 | $3,570~$5,950 (Β±25%) | 26-32 days | +$75 (+2%) |
β What to check in the quotation
- These lanes have thin public benchmarks; treat the figure as an order of magnitude and obtain written quotes.
- Check transshipment points and the carrier that actually operates the second leg.
- Ask for the validity period and the surcharge schedule in writing.
