1/ Purpose of the Tool - Pre-carriage & Sea
This tool has been created to provide access to
- a rate catalogue for the Pre-carriage and Sea transport and have estimated of costs.
- the nominated carriers/haulier and information for specific trade lanes, based on GBUs request in FCL Global Tender
2/ How to search in the data base?
Select "Pre-carriage & Sea" tab on the rate dashboard
From the filters below, you can search and sort results in the table. By default, in the Classic View goods are considered non-dangerous and currency is EUR. Additional filters are available in the More Details view.

If you are looking for a rate indication only, we recommend you to filter first on ORIGIN (Plant or/and port) and Destination (Port or/and Site), then to adjust your search.
If you are looking for an exact rate and awarded lane, you can start by filtering on your GBU, on the top left corner of the filters.
You can sort the results in the table by clicking on the column name.
To start a new research, press "Clear All" button.
Please note that data is refreshed once a day only.
3/ How to read the data base results?
There are 3 views:
- Total Cost
- Pre-carriage
- FCL
The Total Cost view combines the Pre-Carriage and FCL flows. The purpose of this combination is to obtain the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The version 1.0 allows you to have the TCO of the carrier haulage flows of EMEA, NAFTA and Bulgaria. There is no combination between the merchant haulage trade lanes and the sea freight flows.
Due to NAFTA specificities, the pre-carriage rates are not known and then, the quotations are not available (0 EUR/USD). The reason is the rate is already included in the sea freight.
