Abstract: Highlights: [•] Inward freight rates are 23% higher than for outward ones. [•] Outward freight rates tend to be higher for indirect services than for long journeys. [•] Surcharges, and in particular, the ancillary charges, seem to be used as one of the main revenue-makers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
