Carbon has a price. Averages have a cost.
Carriers price carbon based on fleet averages. Forwarders add a buffer. By the time the invoice reaches you, you're paying two to three times your actual exposure. Searoutes shows you the gap — shipment by shipment, carrier by carrier, lane by lane.
Your carrier uses an average. Audit them.
Your carrier calculates ETS on fleet average emissions. Searoutes calculates it on the vessel that carried your cargo. The difference is your overcharge baseline.
Compare what each carrier charges against actual ETS exposure on that lane. Identify which carriers are charging a fair pass-through and which are not.
Run the audit across your full shipment history. Quantify total ETS overcharge in dollars, by carrier, by lane, by quarter.
