As the ocean industry continues to change with mergers and acquisitions, limiting competition and leverage, smaller shippers are being left behind. With these developments, small to mid-sized shippers will continue to be slated at higher rates and receive less support from carriers.
Chainalytics’ Ocean Buying Group provides the market stability and leverage typically awarded only to large shippers, allowing your organization to remain competitive without the high costs typically associated with smaller levels of ocean transport….all without the need to change your current process including forwarder.
By partnering in Chainalytics’ Ocean Buying Group, you’ll gain “big” shipper value regardless of size of your organization and quantity of your shipments. Furthermore, you’ll minimize risks and avoid additional fees, including no GRI or PSS, and rest easy knowing your rates are best-in-class.
