Shipping Management
GoReefers shipping management takes ownership of an exporter’s ocean freight programme — negotiating and administering line contracts, managing marine insurance and claims, and analysing consolidated freight rates across the portfolio.
About Shipping Management
Exporters shipping at volume are running a freight programme whether they call it that or not: multiple lines, multiple contracts, multiple rate structures, and claims that surface months after the cargo moved.
GoReefers manages that programme as a whole. Contracts are negotiated and administered centrally, rates are analysed across the portfolio rather than shipment by shipment, and insurance and claims are handled by a team that already holds the shipment history.
The result is one view of what freight actually costs, and one party accountable when something goes wrong.

Shipping management for client contracts
Day-to-day execution against an exporter’s own carrier contracts where those are held directly.
Marine insurance and claims administration
Cover arranged for cargo in transit, and claims prepared, submitted and pursued on the client’s behalf.
Consolidated freight rates analysis
Rates compared across lines, routes and periods to show where a programme is over- or under-paying.
SHIPPING MANAGEMENT:FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does shipping management include?
Shipping management covers carrier negotiations and contract administration, execution against those contracts, marine insurance and claims handling, and consolidated analysis of freight rates across an exporter’s whole programme.
Can GoReefers manage contracts we hold directly with a shipping line?
Yes. Where an exporter holds its own carrier contracts, GoReefers can manage execution against them rather than replacing them.
Does GoReefers handle marine cargo insurance claims?
Yes. Marine insurance is arranged for cargo in transit, and claims are prepared, submitted and pursued on the client’s behalf using the shipment records already held.
