What's the difference between spot and contract rates in ocean freight?
Contract rates are agreed with carriers for a set period and volume for price stability. Spot rates are booked on demand at current market prices and swing with capacity. Cargoo helps you honour contracted commitments and keep freight off the pricier spot market by splitting volume across carriers and showing both rate types in one view.
