How to read this data
The median is the middle value of all published quotes for each destination port on 2026-11-04, collected from carriers, space wholesalers and licensed forwarders. Ports with few quotes move more; use the port table above rather than a single country number when quoting a customer. Every quote carries a valid-until date and expires automatically.
