Who Risk Management Helps
Built for supply chain leaders and ocean teams.
NYSHEX adapts to how different teams understand, explain, and manage freight costs without adding complexity.
Governance and control over freight rate risk.
Bring structure, discipline, and oversight to one of the largest and most volatile cost categories on the balance sheet. Establish clear policies for market-aligned pricing and hedging, ensure risk is managed through regulated markets and approved counterparties, and maintain transparency and auditability across freight price exposure.
Freight risk managed like other financial exposures.
Define freight rate exposure clearly and manage it using familiar risk management tools and controls. Use index-linked pricing to standardize exposure, simulate outcomes before acting, and hedge residual risk through cleared futures and established financial partners just as you would with FX, fuel, or commodities.
Reduce disruption from freight rate volatility.
Move away from fixed annual rates that quickly fall out of sync with the market. Use market-aligned pricing and structured risk management to reduce renegotiations, improve predictability, and stabilize freight outcomes without forcing operational teams to manage financial instruments.
Modernize freight contracts without adding risk.
Transition from fixed-rate contracts to index-linked pricing in a controlled, transparent way. Enable contracts that stay relevant as markets move, reduce friction with carriers, and create clearly defined rate exposure that can be evaluated and managed in partnership with finance.
