If you have purchased the lock rate option for a particular trade route, you will only see that rate when you search for that route, until the lock rate expires. Simply select a shipment as you normally would, and it will be priced at the locked rate.

Your locked rate will expire once your total booking volume from that purchase reaches 20 FFE (forty-foot equivalent unit) or after 30 days. Please note, the locked rate can only be used on schedules starting from the schedule date used to lock the rate.

For example, say on 30 November you lock the rate on a schedule from Rotterdam to Shanghai, departing 6 January. Between 30 November and 30 December (30 days), you can use the locked rate for up to 20 FFE on the Rotterdam-Shanghai trade lane for schedules departing from 6 January onwards.
