Containers

LCH.Clearnet’s Container service provides an independent clearing service for the registration of OTC Container Freight Swap Agreements (CFSAs) for four of the most actively traded routes out of Shanghai.

Globally based logistics providers, carriers, shippers and trading companies are increasingly looking to manage their risk through cleared trading opportunities. By clearing through LCH.Clearnet, clients benefit from the stability and the implicit security of our default fund.

Approved Brokers have open and equal access to the service and can register their OTC brokered trades with LCH.Clearnet for clearing through a clearing member of LCH.Clearnet.

The service was launched in June 2010 with the support of the containerised freight broking community. We are committed to working closely with the industry to ensure that our offering reflects the ongoing needs of the marketplace and LCH.Clearnet are a member of the Container Freight Derivatives Association (CFDA) also.
