For FCL importers
Shiphoppa helps FCL buyers recover freight cost from spare CBM without changing the sailing, selling space manually, or letting unknown cargo disrupt the load. Your cargo stays priority.
How FCL sharing works
The FCL owner should not become a freight forwarder. Ship Hoppa handles the marketplace layer while your container plan stays protected.
Tell us route, sailing window, container size and estimated spare CBM. No public exposure of your commercial details.
Only compatible, non-hazardous cargo can match. Late, unknown or risky bookings stay out.
Every added shipment must reach the warehouse before the receipt cutoff. No cargo, no load.
Your cargo remains priority. Ship Hoppa measures, photographs and load-plans the added cargo.
Ship Hoppa collects from space buyers and pays the agreed recovery contribution after shipment milestones.
The economics
If a container is leaving part-empty, the question is whether that empty space earns back cost safely or disappears as waste.
Indicative only. Actual recovery depends on route, cargo mix, timing, warehouse handling and agreed owner terms.
Risk controls
The whole point of the FCL owner page is control. Ship Hoppa should add monetisation without adding chaos.
Built from the FCL problem
"The first opportunity is not buying containers speculatively. It is helping real FCL buyers recover money from empty space they are already paying for, without making them manage other importers."
FCL owner FAQ
No. Your cargo is the anchor load and your sailing remains the plan. Ship Hoppa only fills compatible spare space when the cargo can meet the cutoff and the operational rules.
Ship Hoppa does. We handle matching, payment, instructions, document collection, supplier reminders, warehouse receipt and admin communication.
It does not load. Late cargo rolls to another sailing or requires admin override. The cutoff engine protects the container schedule before it protects marketplace demand.
No. Space buyers see available lane capacity and timing. They do not see your supplier, price, buyer details, cargo value or commercial documents.
V1 can use agreed manual payout terms per container. The model should later support milestone-based payout after cargo receipt, loading or departure, depending on the commercial agreement.
No. The FCL owner side should stay controlled and curated. Ship Hoppa is matching vetted demand into protected spare space, not turning your container into an open marketplace listing.
