Joint Venture Shipping Contracts

Joint Venture Shipping Contracts are strategic agreements where two or more freight companies collaborate to manage shipments, share responsibilities, and distribute costs. These partnerships often emerge when serving new trade lanes, managing high-volume freight, or optimizing underutilized assets. By pooling resources such as vessels, containers, or route access, these contracts allow companies to maintain service levels while reducing operational overhead and risk exposure.

Within CargoWise, these joint ventures can be tracked and managed using customizable billing, route sharing, and responsibility allocation tools. The system ensures that each party’s share of the cost, revenue, and performance metrics is transparent and accurately recorded. This collaborative model boosts flexibility and competitiveness, especially in international trade, where market dynamics frequently shift. Joint Venture Shipping Contracts not only strengthen carrier relationships but also help forwarders scale operations without the capital expense of going solo.
