Shippers and forwarders are demanding more than price, they want proof of performance.

Fabio Brocca sits down with Simon Sundboell to unpack Xeneta’s acquisition of eeSea and what it means for how the industry measures reliability. They trace eeSea’s origins as the “Google Maps of container shipping,” explore how schedule data and freight rates now work together inside Xeneta’s platform, and reveal why true transparency could finally change the way shippers buy and sell freight.

From forecasting accuracy and blank sailings to the rise of index-linked contracts, they outline how cost, performance, and service quality are converging into one decision framework. Whether you’re evaluating carriers, managing tenders, or building your 2026 strategy, this conversation shows where the next wave of freight intelligence is headed.
