I am looking for an index about the supply chain shock. My senior consultant suggest that it relates to something called "international shipment freight cost".

I am wondering **if there is any index relating to "international shipment freight cost"** regionally or globally for each country.

Or something like **freight cost, index for international shipping costs** as **supply chain shocks**
