| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| shippingrates_stats | Get current statistics for the ShippingRates shipping intelligence database. Use this as a starting point to understand what data is available before calling other tools. Returns record counts for D&D tariffs, local charges, transit... |
| shippingrates_lines | List all shipping lines in the ShippingRates database with per-country record counts. Use this to discover which carriers and countries have data before querying specific tools. Returns each carrier's name, slug, SCAC code, and a... |
| shippingrates_search | Search the ShippingRates database by keyword — matches against carrier names, port names, country names, and charge types. Use this for exploratory queries when you don't know exact codes. For example, search "mumbai" to find port... |
| shippingrates_dd_calculate | Calculate demurrage and detention (D&D) costs for one carrier in one country. Use this when the user needs a detailed cost breakdown for a specific carrier. Returns free days, per-diem rates for each tariff slab, and total cost. This... |
| shippingrates_dd_compare | Compare demurrage and detention costs across ALL available carriers for the same country, container type, and detention days. Use this for freight procurement and carrier selection — it answers "which carrier has the cheapest D&D in... |
| shippingrates_local_charges | Get local charges at a port for a specific carrier — Terminal Handling Charges (THC), documentation fees (BL/DO), seal fees, and other port-specific charges. Use this when calculating total shipping costs at origin or destination.... |
| shippingrates_inland_search | Search for available inland transport routes (road/rail haulage) from port to inland destinations for a specific carrier. Use this to discover what haulage routes a carrier offers in a country. For example, search "ahmedabad" to find... |
| shippingrates_cfs_tariffs | Get Container Freight Station (CFS) handling tariffs — charges for LCL (Less than Container Load) cargo consolidation and deconsolidation at port warehouses. Use this for LCL shipments to estimate warehouse handling costs. Returns... |
| shippingrates_inland_haulage | Get inland haulage (trucking/rail) rates for moving containers between a port and an inland location. Use this when you know the specific origin port and destination and need rate quotes. Returns route-specific rates by container type... |
| shippingrates_port | Look up port details by UN/LOCODE — name, country, coordinates, timezone, and terminal facilities. Use this to validate port codes or get port metadata. If you don't know the UN/LOCODE, use shippingrates_search with the port or city... |
| shippingrates_transit | Get estimated ocean transit times between two ports across all available carriers. Use this for quick transit time comparison between ports — answers "how long does it take to ship from A to B?" Returns carrier-specific transit... |
| shippingrates_rates | Get ocean freight rates between two ports, optionally filtered by container type. Use this to compare base freight costs across carriers for a specific trade lane. Returns current spot rates and contract rate indicators with trend... |
| shippingrates_surcharges | Get carrier-specific surcharges — BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor), CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor), PSS (Peak Season Surcharge), EBS (Emergency Bunker Surcharge), and more. Use this to understand surcharge exposure for a carrier in a... |
| shippingrates_congestion | Get port congestion metrics — vessel waiting times, berth occupancy, and delay trends for a specific port. Use this to assess port efficiency and anticipate detention risk. High congestion often leads to longer container dwell times... |
| shippingrates_reliability | Get schedule reliability metrics for a carrier — on-time performance percentage, average delay in days, and sample size. Use this for carrier selection and benchmarking — answers "how reliable is this carrier on this trade lane?"... |
| shippingrates_vessel_schedule | Get upcoming vessel arrivals and departures at a specific port. Use this to check what vessels are expected at a port — useful for booking planning and tracking. Returns vessel names, carriers, ETAs/ETDs, and service routes. For... |
