Freight Management: Services Paired with Beneficial Cargo Owner (BCO) Rates
One of the most efficient ways to get consistent carrier service is by leveraging industry relationships with the steamship lines to seek to get the most competitive Beneficial Cargo Owner (BCO) rates. As your Freight Manager, JMR will provide all traditional freight forwarding service using your direct BCO contract(s) with carrier. Advantages to JMR’s Freight Management include:
- Significant savings in your Ocean Freight
- Potential for extended payment terms via the carriers
- Preferential treatment by carriers – reducing the chances of getting bumped and rolled
- Assistance with contract negotiation and maintenance of carrier relationships
- Assistance with negotiating amendments
- Reporting MQC usage on a monthly basis
- Flexibility in crunch times using our separate NVO contracts- your cargo WILL get moved
- Open book policy on all charges- one flat fee per container
- All traditional freight forwarding services all included.
Under Freight Management, JMR still acts as traditional freight forwarder- bookings, outlays, tracking, but lets you be in full control of the pricing.
