Rate Forecasting in Freightos Terminal

Rate Forecasting in Freightos Terminal

The Forecasting Tool in Freightos Terminal helps you see where freight rates may be headed before market changes fully show up in your bookings, budget, or procurement plans. It combines historical pricing data, seasonality, and real-time market events — like blank sailings, GRIs, congestion, closures, and capacity shifts — with human analyst insights and manual configuration to generate forward-looking forecasts for ocean and air lanes.

In the Forecasting dashboard, you can drill down by:
  1. benchmarking route
  2. country pair
  3. port pair
  4. airport pair
For each lane, the tool shows:
  1. current market rates
  2. expected price direction
  3. probability of price increases or decreases
  4. event intensity and disruption risk
  5. the market context behind the forecast
Forecasting includes short-term projections driven by near real-time events, along with longer-term planning views informed by historical patterns and analyst logic.
