🔀 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)
