Negotiated commitment measured against the capacity, bookings and freight actually executed.

Contract Performance connects carrier commitment with allocation availability, booking outcome, schedule performance, off-contract freight and cost evidence. Skypace measures what the carrier made available, what was booked, what was rolled and what moved off contract, against the minimum quantity and the rate schedule procurement signed.

A direct carrier contract is a commercial commitment that has to survive real booking demand. The FMC defines service contracts around a minimum quantity commitment plus a rate schedule and defined level of service. Sea-Intelligence's June 2026 data also shows that schedule reliability varies materially between carriers. Because contract value is realized through usable allocation, booking acceptance and service performance, procurement review needs the execution evidence behind the commitment.

Program, operations and transactional detail

How should MQC utilization be measured?

Compare applicable executed volume with the contractual commitment for the same carrier, trade, period and contract unit.

What does off-contract freight mean?

Freight executed outside the intended contracted carrier or commercial arrangement, with the reason recorded for review.

Why can a carrier contract exist while a requested sailing has no usable space?

The commercial agreement and sailing-specific allocation are separate operating conditions.
