Transaction-based

Transaction-based rate insights are the missing link in ocean freight planning.

BCOs and NVOCCs are expected to make long-term decisions in a market that changes week to week. Without a reliable, transaction-based view of rate movement, forecasting becomes guesswork and relationships become strained.

“Other markets have, for decades, had the ability to operate their business on the basis of price indices. This allows participants to separate the price volatility from the management of their relationships and service levels.”

Not all indices are created equal.

NYSHEX is the first to pioneer indices that are:

shipment data-1
Built on Real Shipment Data

Other indices use quoted rates. NYSHEX Indices reflect actual shipment rates for unmatched accuracy.

Frame 8115
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.

Do you want to contribute in an even more meaningful way?

If you're an NVOCC, you can do more than receive the data—you can help shape it. We’re inviting select NVOs to contribute shipment data that will power the NYSHEX Indices. 

In return, contributors receive:

  • Exclusive access to deeper, more granular weekly insights
  • A seat at the table to help guide index methodology and structure
  • The opportunity to help build a tool designed to benefit the entire ecosystem
