How to add a freight rate for Bulk/Break Bulk in Logistics Explorer?

In the beta-version of the vessel chartering feature in Logistics Explorer, you are able to put your indicative freight rates for different sizes of the vessel between two ports.

The simplified model, which does not imply the cargo type allows you to input the freight rates opposite to vessel size, which is conditionally divided by vessel types: Coastal, Handysize, Handymax, Supramax, Ultramax, Panamax and Capesize.

Go to your Virtual Office and choose the Rates & Tariffs tab. Select Sea, then – Bulk/Break Bulk.

Choose the country of loading and country of destination, POL and POD and press “Create a table”. Simply input the currency and the rates, don’t forget to mention validity dates. Here you can either copy & paste from excel or any other table, as well as stretch the cells if rates for different port combinations are the same.

The ‘vice versa’ button in the middle of the countries allows you to reflect the direction and rapidly add the rates in the opposite direction.

Additionally, you may add your rates via Rate Managers (DFA Premium members and Vendor Premium accounts only).
