If you missed the last release of updates - it's time to look at it. We continue to move forward and plan to implement each step according to the road map of the project. Thank you for your continued support and interest!
Promoting SeaRates partners
As part of a long-term strategy of cooperation with forwarding companies - we began to publish the names of forwarders under the map on the platform on our website. For example, if a customer needs to ship from the US to China, he/she will see options for rates on different shipping lines, and down below, will be able to see the companies that will provide this service. From here you can contact the company by clicking the "Chat" button (more about this in the next section). This step will help to provide more competitive rates in the system, as well as show the forwarder with whom the contract will be concluded. Remember that when placing a booking at SeaRates, you always have guaranteed support of our team in matters of confirmation a rate validity and the actual shipment up to the moment of payment.
Chat with a carrier from the list of rates
Now when you place a booking you can discuss the details of the transportation and all the details of the contract directly in the chat with the company with which you plan to carry the cargo. As it was shown in one of the first promos of the platform (video below), choose the best variant of transportation, suitable for you by all criteria, because you can see all the detailed information about the price, transit time, line, validity of the rate and other parameters. All other questions regarding the terms of payment, guarantees, deferrals, etc. you can chat directly.

Launch of AirRates.com beta-version
In a post about a month ago, we promised to show you the upcoming project on air transportation. And here it is! The beta-version is already available at www.airrates.com. The project will function as an addition to SeaRates in terms of cargo transportation by air, charter transport planes and of course, online cargo bookings for specific dates based on size and weight. Our team invites all forwarders who specialize in air freight to add their rates and announce their special services! On all questions you can contact the project team at [email protected]. Also we invite to the public project on Facebook - here is the link!
In the near future we will try to please you with two more specialized projects.
International shipping in 10-foot containers
We have prepared a separate post about this innovative solution. Many of us have heard from the first lips of customers repeatedly the question of "Is there a 10-foot container?" or "what is the smallest container in which I can send my small shipment of cargo?". Now the answer is! We launched the service in a test mode, and already in the first week the statistics department reported 162 successful bookings from shippers from different countries. Now we plan to increase this turnover with the help of local agents and with your help to bring this opportunity to all exporters and importers of the world.
"Shipping In One Box" service update
Continuing work on the service, launched two weeks ago, we added the online shopping cart function to create the usual shopping experience in the online store, but for international shipments and larger cargo lots. This means that now you can both calculate the cost of the goods anywhere in the world using the standard Export Calculator, and combine several products from different suppliers in one container, see the total cost, and see the 3D model of loading goods using the built-in load calculator. Logistic tariffs and freight rates from TOP carriers will be automatically pulled from the platform, which will allow to form the best final price of the goods.
Stay with us, keeping track of further updates in the telegram channel, and share your opinion of using in the common chat! Respect all the like-minded SeaRates who believe in the transformation of world logistics - after all, this mission can not be complete alone, and we believe in our community!
