๐ Alternatives
What โalternativeโ 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)

โ What to check in the quotation
- Short-sea rates move on feeder capacity and local surcharges more than on indices; compare at least three quotes.
- Confirm that terminal handling and documentation fees are itemised.
- Lock the exchange rate used for local-currency charges.
