Drewry Benchmarking Club data added to Cargoo platform for club members. Drewry Shipping Consultants, an international research and consulting provider for the maritime and shipping industry, has announced a partnership with ocean freight management platform Cargoo, according to Drewry. Cargoo has selected the Drewry Benchmarking Club as a benchmarking data source for its customers, and members of the club who also use Cargoo will be able to view their benchmark data directly within the platform, linking market visibility with day-to-day action. The integration is restricted to Drewry Benchmarking Club members. The two companies framed the arrangement as closing the distance between knowing where the market stands and acting on that knowledge. Tender workload drives demand. Drewry reported that tender season places significant strain on procurement teams. In recent Benchmarking Club polls, 44 percent of members said they need five to seven weeks just to prepare a request for quotation, while half said they need eight to twelve weeks to complete the full bid. One in four members could not state their annual detention and demurrage spend. According to Drewry, knowing the market position is seldom the difficult part; the pressure more often comes from the surrounding work of gathering volumes, harmonising bid sheets across successive rounds and keeping contracts on track through the year. What changes for club members on Cargoo. Drewry outlined several benefits for Benchmarking Club members using Cargoo. Users can set targets with confidence because Drewry benchmarks and seven-quarter container shipping forecasts are placed against every lane in scope. Rounds can be run faster, with each carrier offer evaluated against the benchmark lowest and average rates as it arrives. Savings are supported because every booking is priced at the awarded rate and freight audit checks each invoice line while it remains disputable. Performance and spend data also feed into targets for the following season. Drewry noted that a joint question-and-answer session for international shippers under its Logistics Executive Briefing is scheduled for 10 November 2026. About Cargoo.
