USD 3,000 Saved Through Container Optimisation通过集装箱优化节省 3,000 美元
A chemical shipment was initially expected to require two 20-foot containers. Under the proposed arrangement, the combined ocean freight cost would have been approximately USD 11,200.一批化工产品最初预计需要使用两个 20 英尺集装箱。按照原方案，合计海运费约为 11,200 美元。
Consolidating purchasing volume to reduce unit price整合采购量降低产品单价
A small-volume customer had limited leverage when purchasing independently.小批量客户独立采购时议价能力有限。
Locking price before a market increase涨价前锁定价格
The market could move between quotation and formal order approval.从报价到正式确认订单之间，市场价格可能上涨。
Replacing an unnecessarily high specification用正确规格替代过高规格
The customer historically bought a high grade, although the real production use might not require it—for example 99% rather than 97%.客户长期采购高规格产品，但实际用途可能不需要该等级，例如 99% 而不是 97%。
Reducing cargo-roll, detention and repeat handling charges减少抛货、滞港与重复操作费用
Rolled cargo could incur storage, terminal handling, rebooking and repeat-operation charges.货物被抛后可能产生仓储、场站操作、重新订舱及重复操作费用。
Choosing a faster route to protect commercial value选择更快航线保护商业价值
Low freight did not equal low total cost when multiple transshipments caused the customer to miss a favourable selling period.低海运费并不等于低总成本，多次中转可能使客户错过有利销售期。
