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
- Ask whether the quote includes EU ETS and FuelEU surcharges and how they are calculated.
- Confirm Suez versus Cape routing in the quote; it changes transit time and sometimes the rate.
- Check low-water and congestion surcharges for inland river legs.
