Where can I find some prices for transportation of containers by ship?  
I am in particular interested in the costs of transportation from
ports in Africa to ports in Europe and the US, but information on
other ports and destinations would also be useful.  The information is
needed for comparison of costs of transportation of products like
cotton, coffee, cocoa and tea from various destinations in developing
countries to the main markets.
Magnitudes and trends would also be fine if day-to-day or
actual/current prices cannot be obtained.
Maybe some of the shipping lines publish their rates - or maybe there
is some kind of common portal/platform where one can see some
spot-prices ?

This is a difficult question and may require more money to generate
some interest. I came across a quotation request form at:
