Pass the carrier's surcharge through, and you compete on margin.
Pass through whatever the carrier bills and you stay a margin-thin middleman. Bring vessel-level data to the shipper conversation and you become the advisor they keep.
Carriers price EU ETS surcharges on fleet averages, then add a buffer. When you pass that straight through, you put your shippers a step further from the real number, not closer. Searoutes gives you the actual vessel-level figure behind each voyage, so you can audit the surcharge for your customers and win the tender on proof, not price.
The friction
What you're up against
Passing the carrier's buffered surcharge straight through leaves you competing on margin, not value.
Shippers are starting to ask whether a carbon surcharge is real or just the carrier's average plus a buffer.
No independent number to check what carriers bill, so you take it on trust and so do your customers.
Winning enterprise tenders increasingly means showing your work, not just quoting a rate.
The unlock
How Searoutes helps you

Audit carrier surcharges for your shippers and bring the proof into every tender.

The benefits
Why forwarders choose Searoutes
Accuracy you can stand behind
GLEC + ISO 14083 methodology. Certified numbers your shippers' finance and reporting teams can defend.
Leverage in every tender
Proof you can bring to the table. Walk into the tender with the vessel-level number, not the carrier's average.
Surcharge variance by carrier. On the same lane, one carrier can charge materially more for carbon than another. Advise accordingly.
Advisor, not middleman. Turn the gap into a recommendation your shipper keeps you for.
