Digital benefits for smaller cargo owners
DP World’s SeaRates has partnered with C P World to digitise shipments for small cargo owners saving both time and costs.
SeaRates’ integration with C P World will provide smaller cargo owners with easy booking and shipment tracking via its ‘digital freight forwarder’ platform, just like their bigger counterparts.
“We are excited to expand our offerings for SMEs, startups and individuals who require access to international trade. This new partnership will provide SeaRates customers with access to exclusive ocean freights and schedules in over 30 countries, allowing them to book LCL shipments through the online platform,” said Mike Bhaskaran, COO of digital technology at DP World.
”This is particularly advantageous for customers with seasonal or promotional products, as it will provide them with cost savings and more flexibility in their bookings, while tapping into new market segments and broadening customer bases.”
Real-time information
The integration will now also mean that SeaRates can now provide customers with enhanced real-time container availability and pricing information, empowering shippers to compare rates across a broader range of carriers.
By optimising container space and efficiently consolidating Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, SeaRates enables cost savings for shippers while contributing to a more sustainable global supply chain.
“As a neutral, market leading ocean freight consolidator, C P World is excited to partner with SeaRates, DP World to offer comprehensive LCL ocean freight rates, schedules and services thereby digitalising freight and creating sustainable solutions,” said Ken Chiang, Group CEO of C P World.
