Experimental estimate, not a quote.

Gulf rates run flat for most of the year, with a short lift as importers stock up ahead of Ramadan and Eid. Prices pooled across the lane; no shipment or customer is shown. Demo figures.

Six lanes, read every week

The lanes the crew checks first every Monday. Pick one and it loads into the cockpit.

Change is the expected price eight weeks out against this week. Status reads the last 30 days of deliveries. Demo figures.

How the forecast is made

Plain statistics, tested in the open. No black box, and no number we would not stand behind.

  1. Two years of what was actually paid

    Every week we record the price really paid on the lane, per container or per kilo. The model reads 104 weeks; a lane with less than 26 weeks of prices gets no number at all.

  2. Two simple models, side by side

    One follows the recent trend. The other also repeats the lane’s yearly shape, such as the pre-Christmas lift on Europe lanes. Whichever guessed better in testing is the one you see.

  3. Tested on weeks it never saw

    We hide the latest 12 weeks, forecast them, and compare. The average miss sets the width of the band, and the cockpit reports how often the real price landed inside it.

What it cannot do

A forecast you can plan with has to say where it stops.

  • It cannot read the newsIt learns from prices, not events. A strike or a closed strait shows here only once it reaches the price. Trade watch covers the events.
  • Thin lanes get no numberUnder 26 weeks of history, the cockpit says so instead of guessing.
  • Further out is widerThe band widens every week ahead. Two months out it is roughly three times the one-week band.
  • It is not a quoteSpace, surcharges and the details of your cargo move the real price. The crew confirms it within 24 hours.

Lock in Mumbai → Jebel Ali

The forecast tells you where the price is heading. The crew turns it into a real plan, a real price and a date for a lane of about 6 days, within 24 hours.
