Each one exists because a real problem kept appearing in real files. Each one is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in the visitor's browser so nothing they type is sent anywhere. Open any of them and use it.
Shows what a container waiting at a port is costing right now, what one more day will cost, and the date the rate jumps to the next band. It loads the published tariffs of real terminals and shipping lines, so the visitor supplies only two dates.
The problem it solves. Delays, wasted time, extra port charges and unhappy customers, all caused by work that cannot be seen or tracked.
