What what makes these indices different?
Unlike traditional benchmarks, NYSHEX Indices are:
Built on Real Shipment Data
Other indices use quoted rates. NYSHEX Indices reflect shipment rates for unmatched accuracy.
Independently Governed
Other indices are controlled by single stakeholders, creating potential bias. NYSHEX Indices are co-created with and governed by carriers, shippers, and NVOCCs to ensure fairness and trust.
Transparent and Secure
Other indices lack regulatory oversight and operate without standardized controls. NYSHEX is overseen by the US Federal Maritime Commission and meets strict regulatory standards for transparency, data handling, and ongoing oversight.
Global and Inclusive
Unlike indices limited to specific trade lanes, NYSHEX spans all major routes with data from both carriers and NVOCCs—delivering a fuller view of the market.
