Section 01 | Definition

What is the FCPI?

The FCPI measures how much the inputs to your freight costs (fuel, capacity, surcharges, currency) have moved since January 2026. Not all of your freight bill moves with these inputs: only the variable portion (BAF, FSC, GRI, CAF, war risk), typically 30–52% depending on your modal mix. The rest is your contractually fixed base rate.

× What it is NOT

A full-cost multiplier

FCPI 134 does not mean your freight bill is +34%. Your base rate is contractually fixed. Only the variable surcharges move with market inputs.

The FCPI uses industry-benchmarked transmission coefficients to translate input pressure into the dollar impact on the variable portion of your spend.

✓ What it IS

A forward-looking cost pressure signal

The FCPI measures where pressure is building: in fuel markets, at geopolitical chokepoints, in carrier capacity decisions, and in currency movements.

It gives you a 1 to 12 month forward window before the pressure reaches your invoice. Your modal mix (ocean/air/road) determines your exposure: ocean-heavy portfolios face 39–52% variable cost, road-heavy 30–38%.

Section 02 | Methodology

Weekly tracking across 10 global trade lanes

Published every Friday: with unscheduled updates triggered by a confirmed improvement or deterioration of ≥5% in any monitored lane.

01 / Signal Layer

267 signals · 75,000+ data points

Fuel markets (Brent, VLSFO, jet fuel incl. IATA monitor), geopolitical chokepoints (Hormuz, Suez, Malacca), carrier capacity, and currency: via 14 live market data APIs across 50+ sources. Zero client data used.

Auditable to source

02 / Four Pressure Layers

Fuel · Capacity · Surcharges · FX

Weighted composite per trade lane and modality. The asymmetry law is mechanically embedded: carriers pass through increases faster than decreases. Your exposure is not symmetric: the FCPI reflects that.

Asymmetry-corrected

03 / Forward Scenarios

M1 to M12 horizon projection

Three scenario paths per trade lane: Base, Escalation, De-escalation. Calibrated against 5 historical crises: COVID, Red Sea, Hormuz, Ukraine, Ever Given. All readings versioned and auditable.

Confidence-labeled

On contracted rates: The FCPI measures cost pressure on the spot freight market. For contracted rates, exposure depends on contract terms and pass-through clauses. In a crisis of this magnitude, contract protections erode: carriers may invoke force majeure, apply emergency surcharges, or roll shipments.

How to use the FCPI | 4 steps

From your flow to your action plan.

The FCPI is built around the decisions you already make: where to ship, how much to budget, when to lock rates, when to switch modes. Four steps take you from a corridor you care about to a mitigation plan you can defend.

Step 01

Identify your flow and its FCPI lane

Map your freight flow to one of the 10 FCPI trade lanes: origin region, destination region, modality. Pick up the current composite reading, the week-over-week delta, and the dominant driver for that lane.

One corridor at a time

Step 02

Focus on the calculator

Plug your spend, modal mix, and contract type into the FCPI calculator. It applies the same transmission coefficients used in the index to translate input pressure into the variable share of your actual bill.

Your numbers, our model

Step 03

Identify the potential impact

Read three forward paths for your corridor: base, escalation, de-escalation. See the dollar range you are exposed to over M1 to M12, with the invoice timing lag that applies to your modality and contract.

Range, not forecast

Step 04

Decide the best mitigation

For each lane, the FCPI suggests mitigation options: lock rates, hedge currency, switch mode, consolidate volume, hold for de-escalation. Weigh them against your service-level, contract, and working-capital constraints, then act.

One lens, one language, one action plan across Procurement, Supply Chain, Operations, and Finance.

For information only. The FCPI and its calculator are provided to help you engage your stakeholders, discuss cost-pressure scenarios, model mitigation options, and revise your action plan. They do not constitute booking advice, trading guidance, or a guarantee of savings. All figures are illustrative until calibrated to your own spend and contracts.
