Chargeable Volume under LCL (Less than Container Load) Shipment?

Question 2

Find the total basic Ocean freight for the following LCL shipment:-

a) Length – 2.5m

b) Width – 1.2 m

c) Height – 80 cm à .8 m

d) Total weight – 2 ton

e) Rate – $ 20 /cbm

Total items – 2 parcels with same measurements

Solution

Volume = length * width* height

2.5*1.2*0.8 = 2.4

2.4 * 2 = 4.8 cbm

2 tons means 2 cbm

Since, 2 cbm < 4.8 cbm, (Gross volume is accounted)

4.8 * 20 = 96

So, Total ocean freight for the LCL shipment is $ 96
