I've heard a lot about online container exchanges lately. The IAS Exchange enables container owners, operators and transport service providers to search for and transmit surplus or deficit containers and container vessel slot capacity to cost effectively source and reposition equipment. Members post their needs and are committed to carry through with acceptable exchanges based on common trading rules. Due to the rapid adoption of the IAS Exchange within the industry, all sides of the container market are represented, ensuring a wide range of exchange opportunities. The Exchange notifies members via email and their Exchange homepage when matches are posted.
Expiration dates on postings are completely user controlled.
Members receive a return confirmation and return detail report notifying them of transaction progress and pending obligations. In this area members see return confirmations and return detail reports that show the return facility. IAS assists any member that has a dispute with another by providing all pertinent information to both transaction participants. If disputes cannot be resolved between members, an arbitration process is recommended. For more specific information consult the IAS Exchange Rule Book or contact your IAS marketing representative.
