Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Skypace ocean freight rates come from?

Rates come from Skypace's own carrier contracts. We contract with carriers across all three major ocean alliances plus independents:

  • Ocean Alliance (CMA CGM, COSCO, OOCL, Evergreen)
  • Gemini Cooperation (Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd)
  • Premier Alliance (ONE, HMM, Yang Ming)
  • Independents (MSC, ZIM)

Every rate is bookable under a Skypace House Bill of Lading. Skypace holds FMC license OTI 027662.

How often are Skypace freight rates updated?

Every two weeks. Each rate is published with a validity window of up to two weeks, aligned with carrier FAK and tariff cycles. After the window closes, the rate refreshes to match current carrier pricing. Each lane page includes an 8-week price history chart segmented by alliance group.

How reliable are vessel schedules on Skypace?

Skypace scores every sailing as Stable or Unstable. The score compares the carrier's published ETD against the actual ETD from past sailings on the same vessel. Stable means the sailing departs within normal variance. Unstable means repeated departure deviations have been observed.

What does Booking Probability mean on Skypace?

Booking Probability is an estimate, not a carrier guarantee. It reflects the likelihood that a sailing will be confirmed, based on lane demand signals and departure proximity. High means space is likely available. Low means the sailing may be full. Use it to pick a backup sailing before committing.

How does Skypace flag unusual transit times?

Skypace compares each sailing's transit time against the lane's historical average. When a sailing deviates materially from that baseline, it is flagged as an anomaly. Flagged sailings are worth checking before booking, since the carrier may have rerouted or the data may be stale.

What is the difference between spot and contract ocean freight rates?

Spot rates are paid per shipment at the current market price, with no volume commitment. Contract rates are locked in for a period in exchange for committed volume. The contract rates Skypace publishes online are transactional — bookable instantly, one shipment at a time. For shippers with larger volumes, Skypace offers volume discounts and long-term agreements through a direct conversation with our team.

Can I book ocean freight directly on Skypace?

Yes. Skypace is a licensed NVOCC and freight forwarder under FMC OTI 027662. The relationship is the same as working with a traditional forwarder or ocean carrier — Skypace quotes, contracts, books, and issues the Bill of Lading. What changes is the experience.

Every step runs through one platform: search, booking, document exchange, tracking, and invoicing. Each rate shows a full breakdown (origin, ocean freight, destination, surcharges), and Skypace issues the House Bill of Lading for every shipment.

Which ocean carriers does Skypace work with?

Skypace has carrier contracts across all three major container alliances plus independents:

  • Ocean Alliance (CMA CGM, COSCO, OOCL, Evergreen)
  • Gemini Cooperation (Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd)
  • Premier Alliance (ONE, HMM, Yang Ming)
  • Independents (MSC, ZIM)

Coverage varies by trade lane.

How many ocean freight trade lanes does Skypace cover?

Skypace covers 1000+ bookable ocean freight trade lanes connecting major ports across APAC, Europe, North America, LATAM, the Middle East, and Oceania.

Does Skypace offer door-to-door delivery?

Yes, in five regions: the US, the EU, the UAE, China, and Australia. Skypace operates drayage directly in these markets, covering major ports and inland destinations.

For other regions, Skypace offers Door-to-Port or Port-to-Port ocean freight, with local drayage available through vetted partners on request.

Are there any invisible fees on Skypace?

No. Every rate on Skypace shows all charge components upfront:

  • Origin charges
  • Ocean freight
  • Destination charges
  • Named surcharges (BAF, CAF, ISPS, and any seasonal adjustments)

The final price is shown at the moment of booking request, once the shipper selects Incoterms and chooses MBL or HBL handling. Charges remain unchanged from the quote to booking execution.

Shippers pay exactly what they purchase — no post-booking surprises.

How is Skypace different from freight marketplaces?

Skypace is a licensed NVOCC, not an aggregator. Shippers contract directly with Skypace, and Skypace issues the House Bill of Lading. Rates come from Skypace's own carrier contracts, not from third-party aggregation.

Beyond bookings, Skypace operates as a 4PL platform: online booking, shipment tracking, electronic Bill of Lading (eBL), freight audit, and multi-tenant access so shippers, consignees, and other stakeholders can coordinate on the same shipment in one place.
