Movement. That’s what signifies spot shipping and international trade.

But, with goods traversing oceans, clear communication of responsibilities between exporters and importers becomes crucial. Enter Incoterms®—a set of internationally recognized terms for shipping and logistics. Up ahead, learn how Incoterms® works in spot shipping, how to select the right Incoterm® for your spot freight shipment, and some typical scenarios you might face.

We also explore how you can add ‘Price Owner’ to your Maersk Spot booking. Read on!

Modifying ‘Price Owner’ in your Maersk Spot booking

It is recommended that you select the correct price owner and input the accurate details during the booking stage itself. However, if you need to amend the Price Owner (or other particulars) for your spot booking, you can easily do so in your Maersk Hub dashboard via the Shipment Details page. Here’s a step-by-step process for Spot amendment!

Adding ‘Optional Parties’ to your Maersk Spot booking

Depending on the Incoterms® you’ve agreed upon, you can also add any optional parties at the booking stage in advance (you can also input these later when submitting Shipping Instructions), such as Outward Customs Broker, Outward Forwarder, Transport Document Receiver, First Notify Party, Additional Notify Party, Supplier, among others.

At Maersk, we simplify booking and managing your spot shipments online—with fixed spot rates, guaranteed loading, and instant booking confirmation. Discover Maersk Spot!
