October 2023 Development Release: Empowering Business Users

The SeaRates team values your support and interest. Every month we release new features and improvements to the site, and this month is no exception. We would like to present you with the results of our work. If you subscribe to our SeaRates news feed, we will notify you when a new release is ready.

Go ahead and check out the new opportunities.


Tracking System




We are delighted to inform you that Tracking System 3.0 is now available for integration on your websites. We would appreciate it if you could migrate your existing tracking tool to the new version within the next two weeks. If you do not migrate your Tracking System to the new version within this time frame, we will automatically migrate it for you. For more information, please contact your personal SeaRates Account Manager or reach out to us at [email protected]. This update includes protection against unauthorized web integrations of Tracking System 3.0. Now, when users attempt to install the tool on a site that does not have open access, they will see the "Access denied” message and can only go to the Request It Quote form.

Another good news is that we have improved the Tracking tab in the Filter on the home page. Now, you can query by container, booking, or bill of lading numbers.

Additionally, we have implemented an option to subscribe for daily updates on the status of your containers. This way, you will receive regular emails about saved shipments.

Moreover, we have implemented the display of different types of transport in different colors on a multimodal route.

Also, we have added the ability to make a search query with new number formats, such as JUB/JEA/03032, 1710-0103-211.015, MBM230054080/FBIU5312695 to our API and improved the logic of receiving a list of shipments using the Historical API.

Finally, we have made enhancements to the way we work with providers, including Maersk, CMA CGM, Kuehne + Nagel (KN), Sealand, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), ECU Worldwide, SETH Shipping, Gold Star Line, Maersk Line Limited (MLL), Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), Hapag-Lloyd, Seaboard Marine, Avana Global FZCO (BALAJI), Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), Regional Container Lines (RCL), Yang Ming, FESCO, Samudera Shipping Line, Atlantic Container Line (ACL), Grimaldi Deep Sea S.P.A., Sunmarine Shipping Services, COSCO, Asyad Line, and Hamburg Süd.


Ship Schedules




We are pleased to announce the addition of the SWIRE shipping line to Ship Schedules. 

Also, we have improved the way we work with providers, including OOCL, Tanto, PIL, Yang Ming, SM, KMTC, Tarros, and Sinokor.


Load Calculator





We have improved the access verification for the web-integrated version of the tool. Now, if you do not have access to the web-integrated version of the tool, you will receive notifications to contact your account manager or request an IT quote.

Also, we have set the new version as the default; if you want to integrate the old one, request a special code from your account manager.

Distance & Time




We have improved the user flow of the Distance & Time API. The dist and distance parameters for land routes now contain the same information, making the experience of using the API clearer. Learn more about this update in the revised Distance & Time API Documentation on the Developer Portal.


Other Updates 




We have updated the registration and authorization page for carrier accounts.

At AirRates.com, we have added over 2,000 airlines to the Airlines Guide page.


We hope that these updates will improve your experience using our services. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us.
