What’s Inside the Recording:

View the full recording from August 5th, 2025:
  • Latest market moves – Month-ending July 2025 Trans-Pacific spot rates fell 2% to the US West Coast and 10% to the East Coast, while Asia–Northern Europe rose 2% and Asia-Mediterranean dropped 6%.
  • Rate-mix reality check – Why many large shippers have shifted from the old 90/10 contract-to-spot model toward ≈80/20 or 75/25.
  • Volume thresholds that matter – A lane generally needs 1,000–1,500 TEU per year before a long-term contract pays off.
  • Data-driven lane analysis – How an ABC categorization and FBX monitoring help you act instead of react.
  • Live demo – Ian and Oliver show how Freightos Terminal + Freightos Procure can launch an automated RFQ when spot prices drop below your contract rate.
  • Q&A highlights – Practical answers on contract duration, risk of rolled cargo, and index-linked agreements.
