It was great to see everyone
at the Singapore World Conference in February. We appreciate the time
and attention you were able to dedicate, all in effort to learn more about
each other business and how we can work closer.
One exciting project we
discussed together was our new Ocean Rate and Contract Management tool
called RateScope. This new platform, powered by WCAs
Freightoscope, will be built into the AWS system and will deliver an
efficient and comprehensive look- up of our Ocean service contracts.
Again, we recognize that it is a cumbersome process today so this will now
deliver port pair search results in a quick, modern display with the ability
to compare options on screen. In addition, it will provide the
ability to include live Carrier Spot rates from up to ten industry leading
steamship line vendors in the same platform.
We are excited that RateScope will now allow us to
manage, interpret and deliver our contracts to you quicker with greater
accuracy and coverage.
RateScope will replace the current “Look-Up Aid” and will
be located in the same dropdown button on our site. We will continue to
provide each actual contract and amendments in their entirety, along with
each amendment date, in the Service Contract section as normal.
Further information, including a demonstration video, will soon be
available for when this new feature will be live for all our
members.
As always, thank you for your continued support and
cooperation. All World Shipping Team
