The weekly index is transparent about its inputs and we now reference it in two contracts. We would like more coverage on intra-Africa and South America east coast lanes, which they say are planned.

During a congestion spell at a transhipment hub we had the alert and waiting-time data two days before our forwarder told us. That was enough to rebook two shipments through another port.

We pulled five years of port calls for bulk carriers in Asia and the berth and anchorage times were consistent with the port authority figures we checked. The API is quick and the vessel classification by size saved us a lot of joins.
