SERVICE CONTRACTS

Since May of 1999 the largest change in the industry is represented by the growth and use of service contracts. Now with the ability of the NVOCC to also engage in service contracting with the BCO community their impact will be even more dramatic. Whether you are a buyer or seller of ocean transportation services, it is likely your organization is involved in the use of service contracts. It is estimated that as much as 90 % of all rates offered within the industry today, are expressed in service contracts. While these represent a high degree of customized pricing and relate to issues such as routing, delivery requirements and other valuable information, it is also true that contracts are complex and multi faceted arrangements which need to be tended to by professionals.

GMTS, under its subsidiary Associated Conferences Secretariat, Inc. (ACS), has been managing service contracts within the ocean transportation since the mid 80's for some of the largest companies in the industry.
