HoP is the pricing department of the Regional Ocean freight Commercial Center (Regional OCC). Regional OCC gatekeepers do decide on pricing strategy and HoP translates it into instructions to countries for quotation.

The Regional OCC Pricing specialist is responsible to translate customer file (Customer Pricing Template, CPT) into an Internal Pricing Template. The format of this IPT is structured and aligned globally to allow countries to quickly and consistently provide their rates. Indeed, the specific pricing/population of the IPT is done by the country OCCs, acting as the pricing desks of country organizations. The coordination of the country specific rate collection, consolidation of replies and front end/back end IPT/CPT conversion is done by the Regional OCC Pricing Specialist.
