A procedure for a shipper contracting with ocean container shipping companies is described. The procedure incorporates the solution to a linear programming transportation model with results from sensitivity analysis. The procedure described enables shippers to evaluate all possible means of obtaining the lowest adjusted price for a given shipping route in a short period of time. Snippers that spend a minimum amount of time on price negotiation are generally able to accept or reject a pending offer prior to expiration of a shipping company's imposed time limit. A case study illustrates the negotiation procedure.
