• Every freight forwarder and shipper tries to
  negotiate the best container rates when it comes
  to total shipment costs. Ocean freight costs
  UAE are a major component of total shipment
  costs. Preparation is the key to a successful
  carrier rate negotiation understanding your own
  shipping requirements, monitoring market
  conditions, and leveraging this knowledge when
  negotiating rates with carriers.
• Understanding freight costs, reducing ocean
  freight spend, and realizing better margins are
  three significant challenges for shippers and 
  freight forwarders. Dynamics and trends in the
  market play an important role in determining
  transportation costs, your business can also use
  visibility data to forecast fluctuations and
  trends in the market.

Here Know The Few Tips For Lowering Ocean Freight
Costs UAE

• 1. Know The Market, Your Business, and Sale Terms
• Be aware of the market you play in and avoid
  paying vendors more than the market rate. Make
  use of freight cost benchmarking techniques, such
  as asking different forwarders for quotes so you
  can see what they are charging and then decide
  what you can afford. You can manage your
  businesss production time more effectively
  before the peak season if you know the freight
  rates and trends.
• 2. Plan Carefully Not Everything Is Urgent
• Ensure that you know exactly what is required.
  Know the scope of the business, the frequency of
  shipments, and the quantities that have been
  agreed upon. Take this information into
  consideration when planning your approach.
• 3. Opt Right Mode Of Cargo
• Is it a full container FCL, LCL, or groupage?
  Make sure you are using the right mode of
  shipping for your cargo. A LCL or groupage
  shipment involves multiple charges compared to a
  full container shipment, so determine if its
  necessary. Similarly, determine whether FCL can
  be optimized to save costs.
• 4. Select Best Route And Packing For Your Cargo
• Reduce your freight costs by optimizing your
  routes. In terms of cost savings, the cheapest
  quote isnt always the best. Be sure to compare
  the routes each carrier takes and choose the
  carrier that will deliver your cargo for the best
  price.

• 5. Be prepared
• Taking the time to plan, prepare, and implement
  your tender management process can dramatically
  impact your freight costs if your procurement is
  based on a tender. It is important to keep in
  mind that effective preparation happens both on
  land and at sea, and both can pay off in cost
  management.
• 6. Triangulation
• Triangulation is another option that carriers
  favor, and they may offer special deals to
  customers who can do so. When triangulation is
  used, a container is used for export and import
  purposes at the same time, meaning you export
  from A to B, and then import from B to A using
  the same container and the same carrier.
• 7. Better Communicate With Your Carriers
• Communication is key to any business arrangement.
  Having open, clear communication with your
  carriers can go a long way in avoiding any
  mishaps that may arise as a result of
  miscommunication, which could prove to be
  expensive later on. Be sure to keep everyone
  updated.
• 8. Audit Your Quotations And Invoices
• Ensure you audit your quotations and invoices
  thoroughly. Ocean invoices contain more than 25
  errors, and these are costly! Carriers often fail
  to add shipping surcharges and ask for payment at
  a later stage. Cost planning and negotiation may
  be affected, and the customer may not agree to
  pay for additional charges, so youll have to
  cover them.
