Captain Upply innovates from his traditional “Lane of the week” and provides a cost per pallet according to the transportation mode comparison. A tariff to be viewed of course in parallel with the different transit times on this very typical axis of the "Silk Road".
Freight rates on the Shanghai / Paris lane are rather stable this week. Our analysis will therefore favor a comparative approach. We use a 40 'GPHC container as our basis - for retail (non-hazardous goods, finished products, packaged, palletized, filmed, 24 Euro-pallets of 80 x 120 cm, VGM weight of 20 tons). All prices are based on an estimation of the median price by Upply experts.
