Common questions
What is Miles and Pallets for?
Following freight across Asia by trade lane, and what it currently costs to move a box along one. Modes and Ports & hubs hold the network, Rates & capacity holds the pricing reporting, and Warehouse & fulfilment and Technology cover what happens at either end.
Are the rates on the site live?
No. Rates & capacity summarises rate reporting and index movements published by named sources, with the date and the publisher attached. It is not a quoting tool and it is not a booking platform, so nothing here should be treated as a price you can buy at.
How do you credit the sources?
By name in the article, with a link to the original, and by attributing any single-source figure to the outlet that published it. Trade press, carrier statements and port authority releases are the usual material. Nothing is reproduced verbatim.
Why do the pieces carry no byline?
Nobody is bylined. The pieces are written with automated assistance from the source reporting, and the source publication is credited where an author's name would sit.
How current is the site?
As reporting appears through the day, which makes News a rolling feed. Disruption on a lane can produce a cluster of pieces in a single afternoon.
Any cookies, ads or analytics?
None of the three. Nothing is loaded from another host, nothing is measured, and there is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
