About ShippingRates

ShippingRates is a shipping intelligence API that provides verified demurrage, detention, and freight rate data from 8 major container shipping carriers — MSC, Maersk, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, CMA CGM, and ZIM — across 158 countries with over 13,095 verified D&D tariff records.

The API uses the x402 payment protocol, allowing AI agents and developers to pay per request with USDC stablecoin on Base or Solana networks. A free tier of 25 requests per month is available with no signup required.

AI agents can connect via the MCP server at mcp.shippingrates.org or use the REST API directly. Machine-readable documentation is available at /llms.txt, /openapi.json, and /.well-known/agents.json for automated discovery.

ShippingRates covers 27 API endpoints spanning demurrage and detention calculation, carrier rate comparison, landed cost estimation, port intelligence, congestion monitoring, vessel schedules, inland haulage rates, transit times, route risk scoring, and regulatory updates.
