We have improved opportunities for Premium users to obtain data for sea, air, and land shipping with the option to select a specific carrier.
Moreover, we have added a more flexible rate period query as well as the ability to work with the results on the 'Compare' tab for separate periods. Download the results in PDF, Excel, and CSV formats.
We have added the ability to select the type of currency for displaying freight index data.
Share the latest data from your search on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

For API, we have changed the logic for determining the date in route-pol-date fields, prioritized the vessel's departure date, and updated the logic of AIS data.
Air Cargo Tracking
For the web-integrated version, we have added the ‘hideCardSearch’ parameter to hide the search field in the opened shipping card.
