The Surcharges tab in Market Trends provides a detailed overview of certain surcharges that have a significant impact on freight rates on some of the largest global trade lanes.Surcharges is an add-on feature. If you don't have access to it, please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.You can see all available information on a specific surcharge globally or use the available filters to narrow down your selection to only specific origin-destination pairs and container types.Covered SurchargesXeneta shows detailed information on the following surcharges:Fuel SurchargePeak Season SurchargeCongestion SurchargeWe are showing these particular surcharges for several reasons:Combined, they make up a significant portion of the final freight rateWe are confident that we have enough high-quality data to display detailed and accurate information on these surchargesSurcharge TrendsThe Surcharges page features historical surchage trends, allowing you to review how charges on specific corridors have changed over the past 12 months.To view historical surcharge values, simple hover over the chart and move the cursor along the line — the column to the left of the chart will display the surcharge value for the selected month, while the columns on the right will show today's value and the percentage difference with the selected historical value respectively.Data ConfidenceThe Confidence metric shown on the Surcharges page represents the amount, quality, and overall accuracy of the data we have in aggregation for the selected trade lane and container type.There are three confidence levels:— good— great— excellentWhile we have data that falls under lower confidence levels, we purposefully don't display it here to make sure that you only see reliable information.Put simply, these levels indicate the likelihood of the surcharges you see in Xeneta being similar to the ones that you get from your ocean freight suppliers.MethodologyOur methodology for the data behind these surcharges is quite simple —We take all available Fuel, Peak Season and Congestion surcharge data in our aggregation for individual trade lanes and container types and calculate their Average, Low, Mid-Low, Median, Mid-High, and High values for the past two weeks.The main advantage of this methodology is that there are no estimates — it's all based on real-life data taken from actual ongoing contracts that paints a relatively current market picture. The downside, however, is that for now we might not have enough data to cover some origin-destination pairs.Exporting Surcharges DataYou can export the raw surcharges data in Excel by clicking thebutton.
