AXSMarine, a pioneer and market leader in advanced solutions for shipping professionals and parent company of Alphaliner a leading provider of in-depth analysis for the liner shipping industry, announced the MOU with Korea Ocean Business Corporation (KOBC), Korea’s leading maritime finance institution, to expand the global reach of the KOBC Container Composite Index (KCCI).
KCCI, a weekly container-freight index tracking spot container rates from Busan to 13 major trade lanes worldwide, will be integrated into the Alphaliner platform, making real-time Korea-origin freight data accessible to the global shipping, logistics, and trading community. By adopting the KCCI, Alphaliner will also be able to more precisely understand freight rate changes originating from Northeast Asia, providing users with a variety of market analysis options.
By making KCCI available via Alphaliner, both organizations aim to enhance transparency in container-freight markets, provide better visibility to stakeholders outside Korea, and support more informed decision-making for carriers, shippers, and investors globally.
