We find Maersk Spot very innovative and easy to use. Now we don't have to wait for rates, since with Maersk Spot we immediately see the available rates and departures. But really what I like the most is that there is a price difference between departure dates. This means that if you plan your business well you can generate savings, since almost always the further out you book the cheaper the price.

The loading guarantee is an space guarantee on the booked vessel, or in the event the carrier loads onto an alternative vessel, the loading guarantee is that it will be loaded on the alternative vessel no more than three (3) days before or no more than three (3) days after the scheduled ETD as confirmed in the Booking. For bookings with inland, the promise remains on timely loading in the first ocean port. The guarantee covers that the inland delivery will be made in time to catch the first vessel.
