DP World’s SeaRates has connected with C P World to assist digitise global commerce and give additional options for smaller cargo owners and freight forwarders operating globally.
The integration will reportedly help customers who move less than a full container load to enjoy streamlined logistics, real-time information, and improved efficiency through SeaRates.
Based in Singapore, C P World operates globally, providing logistics services with air, ocean, and land transportation, as well as documentation and customs clearance.
As a neutral cargo consolidator, it specialises in logistics for small and medium sized businesses that may not require an entire container for their cargos.
With this integration, SeaRates aims to provide customers with enhanced real-time container availability and pricing information, allowing shippers to compare rates across a broader range of carriers.
By optimising container space and efficiently consolidating Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, SeaRates enables cost savings for shippers while contributing to a more sustainable global supply chain.
