CBM Calculation Method Under LCL Sea Shipment

CBM Calculation Method Under LCL Sea Shipment:

FCL: Full Container Loading

LCL: Loose Container Loading

If we ship very heavy goods as loose cargo because the size of the shipment is very small, the shipping lines will charge by weight or by volume whichever is higher.

CBM calculation method for 1 carton = Length (in m) × Width (in m) × Height (in m)

Suppose,

Carton Length-0.65m

Carton width- 0.4m

Carton Height- 0.2m

Here,

CBM calculation for 1 carton is = (0.65 × 0.4 × 0.2) m3

= 0.052 m3

Calculating the volume of cargo is a common subject for all exporters and other shipping-related companies. If cargo is Full Container Load (FCL), the freight charge is for full container load basis. But if the cargo is a Less Container Load (LCL), normally a freight forwarder charges freight on the basis of the volume of cargo. A freight forwarder charges freight on the basis of CBM.
