Sharing credible events helps the entire freight community - and it can boost your brand’s visibility with Terminal users. It’s especially useful for forwarders, carriers, and logistics data providers with timely, lane‑specific insights.

- Open Key Events: Click the bell icon in the right sidebar to open the feed, then select the + button.
- Dates: start (and end, if known).

- Importance and mode(s): choose the level and select all relevant modes (ocean and/or air).
- Location: select region, country, or a specific port/airport. At minimum, include a region/country.
- Trade lanes: pick a specific lane or choose All if it’s broad in scope.
- Title: keep it concise (aim for ~80 characters).

Tips for a strong submission:
- Be specific: name affected ports/airports and lanes.
- Add evidence: link to carrier advisories, port notices, or reputable news.
- Quantify impact when possible: e.g., “5 blank sailings,” “+$300/FEU PSS,” “avg. dwell +2.1 days.”
- Keep it neutral and practical; avoid marketing language or confidential details.
Examples of clear titles:
- “Typhoon closes Shanghai terminals; vessel departures delayed 24–48h”
- “GRI: Transpacific +$500/FEU effective May 1”
