Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A UK-and-Europe grain-freight checker compares a quoted or paid route rate with a cost estimate and, once enough contributions exist, other shippers’ rates.

For
UK and European grain shippers checking freight rates
Worth noticing
Market medians require five rates; model components separately need no more than 15% average error, 5% bias, and eight independent checks.

Field notes

Visitors can inspect a route-cost model whose displayed controls include Kaub water level, ship fuel, and dry-bulk market adjustments; the page says inputs and formulas can be changed. Contributions are kept unnamed and appear only in groups of five or more. At capture, the rate and benchmark counts were zero, the weekly update was overdue, and model testing was still marked draft—not cleared to publish.
