Evergreen Line has teamed up with Alibaba.com, a wholesale marketplace for global trade under Alibaba Group, to provide Alibaba.com members with the option of booking sea freight services online with guaranteed space and prices. The Taiwanese company has also appointed Evergreen Logistics Corporation, as a provider of logistics solutions for Alibaba.com members opting for its sea freight services.
Ahead of the need for user-friendly logistics services of smaller volume shippers, the collaboration aims to allow shippers to search for freight rates and reserve cargo space on the Alibaba.com platform directly, a service that will be available to primarily suppliers in China.
Once a booking is confirmed, the selected price is also locked-in. The rate will not alter regardless of how the market price changes. With a guarantee of space and price, shippers can keep their production lines running with assurance and control their logistics costs with confidence.
Other giant shipping firms as well, such as Maersk, CMA CGM and Cosco, have recently tied up with the site.
That’s great. Getting right freight quote is the priority for global supply chain. Thanks for sharing the information.
