The Vatosline database is a subscription service. As a user, you can decide which trade lane you would like to subscribe to. Within the trade lane you can select your Port-Pair and receive cost details, surcharge information and comparisons from shipping companies for various types of containers ( 20ft, 40ft, 40ft High Cube). Upon request we issue a benchmarking for each trade lane as well.
The database will provide the latest up to date information. Vatosline collects, organises and prepares the data in a user friendly form. Because of this, we can guarantee a high level of reliable, up to date information.
The data will be put into a tabular format. Additionally, it can be displayed as an interface solution with the information being transferred into your Company system.
