With rate setting so competitively set and closely monitored throughout the industry, customers turn to other criteria to inform their decision making processes. Importers, exporters and carriers alike are becoming increasingly interested not only in price, but also the ability to fulfil the promised level of service.

Drewry’s offering is a unique benchmark within the container industry that enables service levels to be assessed on a truly independent basis. Performance levels can be seen across the industry enabling both carriers to benchmark their own performance and importers and exporters to reliably choose a carrier that will fulfil their desired level of service based on independent evidence.
