Index Methodology & Pricing Mechanics
How Brosan Logistics monitors market spot rates, contract lane benchmarks, and capacity balances across major European and overseas trade lanes:
Reflects standard 13.6m tilt or Code XL mega trailers (up to 24,000 kg net cargo / 33 Euro pallets) departing Istanbul, Kocaeli, or Bursa to core European industrial metropolitan centers.
Calculated on a per-Euro-pallet (120×80 cm) basis for standard industrial freight up to 500 kg, including cross-dock handling and direct deconsolidation across European partner hubs.
Captures base ocean rates (BAS) and carrier surcharges for 20ft (1 TEU) and 40ft High Cube containers loaded at Port of Ambarlı, Gemlik, or Mersin destined for European, US, and Gulf base ports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Turkey Freight Confidence Index (TFCI) and how is it derived?
The Turkey Freight Confidence Index (TFCI) is a composite market barometer published weekly by the Brosan Logistics Market Research Desk. Calculated from spot booking transactions, carrier haulage tender bids, fuel surcharges, and border gate crossing wait times, it benchmarks pricing sentiment across Turkish outbound export lanes to Europe, the UK, the Mediterranean, and North America.
Are the benchmark rates displayed on this index all-inclusive?
Yes. Standard FTL road rates encompass standard pickup in the Istanbul/Marmara region, highway tolls, Eurotunnel/ferry crossings, and customs export declaration filing. Ocean container benchmarks reflect sea freight base ocean rate (BAS) plus standard bunker fuel adjustments (BAF/ETS). Ancillary fees such as import customs duties or specialized destination tail-lift delivery are quoted separately upon formal RFQ submission.
What key economic drivers cause weekly freight rate fluctuations?
Key drivers of volatility include seasonal agricultural export surges, diesel price adjustments (BAF), European driving permit (dozvola) quota shortages, weekend truck driving bans, and border congestion at Kapıkule/Hamzabeyli. During peak fourth-quarter retail seasons, road trailer capacity constraints can increase spot rates by 10–15%.
How can enterprise shippers lock in contractual fixed rates?
Brosan Lojistik offers 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month fixed rate contracts for qualified industrial shippers moving regular lane volumes. You can lock in current benchmark rates by clicking 'Lock In Rate' or submitting a formal request through our multi-step RFQ wizard.
Can exporter associations, journalists, and universities cite or embed this index?
Yes. All index data, sub-indices, and benchmark corridors are open for public citation under Creative Commons attribution. Shippers, journalists, and foreign trade organizations (e.g. TİM, DEİK, İSO) can embed our live HTML badge or reference our published APA/BibTeX citation block.
