Frequently Asked Questions

E-Quote provides quotations with a defined validity period but without a specific sailing, so you can book while your shipping plan is still developing. You can choose between standard service E-Quote with floating rates and Smart Combo E-Quote, which includes secured ocean freight rates and selected additional services. E-Spot quotation specifices the sailing, locking in freight rate, surchargses and free time. All available options can be compared in search results. 
This depends on the quotation option. Standard service E-Quote uses floating rates based on the latest OOCL tariff in effect at the time of shipment. Saving a quotation does not lock in these rates. Smart Combo E-Quote secures ocean freight rates for the quote’s validity period. Surcharges and free time are fixed only where specified in your quotation. 
Some Smart Combo E-Quote packages include extended free time for an extra haulage window. All E-Quote shipments (except shipments to or from the US) are eligible to purchase a free time extension after booking confirmation. 
E-Quote supports quotations for general cargo, reefer cargo, non-operating reefer cargo, and dangerous goods. Booking confirmations are subject to route, equipment availability, and applicable requirements.
