I believe that many new foreign trade partners will sometimes be confused about shipping freight and shipping freight . So what is shipping freight? What is sea freight? What is the relationship between sea freight rates and sea freight rates? Today, I have compiled these three issues and shared them with you. I hope it can help you.
1, freight rate (freight rate)
sea freight rate, also known as "sea freight rate", refers to the unit price or rate used to calculate sea freight rates. It is the unit price of the services provided by the sea cargo transport carrier to complete the cargo transport.
sea freight rate refers to the cost of shipping goods by sea. The shipping rate changes according to the transportation distance, transportation route, port conditions, transportation time, type of goods, quantity of goods, etc.
Sea freight rates are a key factor in regulating the state of the shipping market and are a leverage to balance the relationship between transportation capacity and transportation demand. In reality, whenever the transportation capacity exceeds the transportation demand, the freight rate will fall; and when the demand exceeds the capacity, the shipping fee will rise (except for special circumstances, such as the current situation caused by the epidemic that has caused the shipping fee to remain high, but the principle has not changed). Under the conditions of a market economy, the allocation, adjustment and development of shipping resources depend entirely on the role of the shipping market and freight mechanism. The law of value plays a guiding role in regulating supply and demand relationships and resource allocation. The market average of freight rates mainly depends on the supply and demand relationship in the market at that time, rather than on the subjective wishes of a certain enterprise (the state prohibits monopoly).
sea freight rate is not only a matter of concern to ship companies and shippers, but also an issue of concern to international freight forwarding companies. Understanding the basic content of the maritime freight theory and mastering the changes in market prices and their operating models is a basic quality that international freight forwarding company managers and business personnel must possess.
2. Freight (freight)
Sea freight refers to the fees paid by the consignor after the carrier completes the cargo transportation service in accordance with the transportation contract. Simply put, it means that the consignee or consignee cooperates with the shipping company or freight forwarder. When the goods are transported to the destination according to the contract requirements, the consignee or consignee will give the shipping company or freight forwarder a service fee. The specific delivery or consignee depends on the trade method he chooses.
3, the relationship between sea freight rate and sea freight rate
After the carrier completes the transportation task, the freight rate will be calculated based on the sea freight rate and sea freight volume. At this time, the relationship between freight rate and freight rate is easier to understand - sea freight rate is the product of sea freight rate and sea freight volume.
The mathematical expression of the basic relationship between sea freight and sea freight is: F=R X Q; where F is sea freight, R is sea freight, and Q is sea freight.
Generally speaking, the determination and change of sea freight rates depend on the supply and demand relationship of transportation services. Theoretically speaking, the maximum freight rate cannot exceed the affordability of the goods to freight, and the minimum cannot be lower than the transportation cost. However, due to the elasticity of shipping demand in the shipping market, freight rates are sometimes temporarily lower than transportation costs.
