GRI report
What carriers announced, and what actually stuck
A general rate increase on paper and a general rate increase on your invoice are often two different numbers. We track both.
GRIs are announced in advance and then negotiated in practice. The gap between announcement and realisation is where quoting goes wrong: quote at the announced level and you lose the business; ignore it entirely and you eat the difference. This report is the reference our own customers use to pick a position.
Current cycle
Announced movement by trade
| Trade lane | Announced | What we're seeing |
|---|---|---|
| Far East → North Europe | +8% | Announced for the first half of the month, partially rolled back on booked volume. |
| Far East → US West Coast | +12% | Carriers holding firm where capacity is tight ahead of peak. |
| North Europe → US East Coast | +4% | Modest increase, mostly absorbed on contract business. |
| India Subcontinent → Europe | +6% | Applied unevenly by carrier; worth comparing before booking. |
| Transpacific → South America | Flat | No general increase announced this cycle. |
| Intra-Asia | +3% | Small adjustments, largely feeder-driven. |
Indicative figures for illustration. Live, carrier-specific movement is available inside the platform.
How to use it
Three practical habits
Watch the calendar
Check announcement dates before quoting anything with validity crossing into the next cycle.
Quote a range on long validity
Where a GRI lands mid-validity, state the assumption in the quote rather than absorbing it silently.
Flag exposure early
Identify open quotes affected by an upcoming increase and revisit them before the customer does.
What the platform automates
- Alerts on announced increases for lanes you actively quote
- Automatic flagging of quotes with validity crossing a GRI date
- Rate versioning so pre- and post-GRI pricing stays separate
- Bulk repricing once an increase is confirmed
- Historical record of how much stuck last cycle
