Shaq-logistics

An auto-parsed weekly container freight-rate panel built from a single carrier's published tariffs: the SHAQ Freight Index, a volume-weighted composite of all active COSCO Shipping container rates, tracking roughly 10,400 to 24,000 active rate records across 135 origin ports and 126 destination ports, split by equipment type (20GP, 40GP, 40HQ, reefer). Published outputs comprise a single weekly composite index in USD per container with week-over-week change, top-10 weekly rate increases and decreases at route-by-equipment granularity, and regional panels giving active-rate count, minimum, maximum and average rate per region (Panama, South America, Mexico, with Oceania, Southeast Asia and Caribbean commentary). Stated geographic emphasis is emerging-market lanes rather than the main Transpacific and Transatlantic corridors. The same platform exposes 113,000+ real freight rates and container/B-L shipment tracking through a public agent-queryable MCP server, plus a tracking endpoint returning departure, transhipment, ETA and arrival milestones.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Structured tabular rate records (route by equipment by week, with min/max/avg aggregates) published as web tables and an index series, and exposed programmatically through an agent-native MCP server with a published setup guide plus query and tracking endpoints
Volume: Approximately 10,374 active COSCO rate records across 135 origins by 126 destinations at a point in time (stated), with the wider query surface advertised at 113,000+ real freight rates, plus a full weekly time series of the composite and route-level movers. Weekly cadence implies roughly 5x10^3 route-equipment-week observations per year in the movers and regional panels over a rate base of order 10^5 records; the shipment-tracking layer adds container and B-L milestone event records.
Users: N/A — a rate-search and tracking platform offered free to shippers by a freight forwarder as a lead-generation and service layer, accessed through ungated web search and an open MCP server rather than registered seats. The relevant population is the forwarder's client roster of named electronics and industrial manufacturers, not a registered user base.
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — Week 40 of 2026 index published 1 October 2026 with same-week route movers, and the firm is actively shipping an agent-facing product surface (MCP server with a published setup guide), indicating current investment rather than a static report
Launched: 2013 for the forwarding company (stated on its about page). The rate-search platform and the SHAQ Freight Index are later technology additions layered on that business, with the agent/MCP layer the most recent; the platform's own launch year is not printed, so treat the published index series as materially younger than 2013.
