How to approach the 2026-2027 tendering round

Contract negotiations for 2026-2027 are kicking off in one of the most uncertain markets in years. Renewed inflation across Western economies, rising operating costs for shipping lines, port congestion, heightened geopolitical tensions across the world's seas, and the growing toll of extreme weather on maritime transport are all reshaping the rules of the game.

Should shippers lock in rates early, or wait for a better moment? Which factors should actually drive that decision this year?

Join Jérôme de Ricqlès, maritime expert at Upply, and Thomas Larrieu, CEO of Upply, where we'll share our analysis framework for the upcoming tender season.

All participants will receive the webinar replay, the presentation and our white paper after the event.
