Rate Offering Lane Special Service

This page is accessed via Contract and Rate Management > Power Data > General > Rate Offering Lane Special Service.

Use this page to define an inland rate for an ocean arbitrary. For example, if you are shipping between two ports, you can establish a rate offering lane special service to cover the costs of shipping to/from one of those ports from a non-port location. Establishing a special service to cover the difference between the inland locations enables you to have less complicated shipping via ocean transport since you don't need to create a separate leg for the trip.
