hypothetical situation
In this hypothetical situation, you are responsible for shipping material that is measured as volumetric cargo – CBM, which stands for Cubic Meter, to be calculated as length X width X height. Also assume that you will get charged per Freight Ton (weight, or volume, whichever is higher).
- If the length is 1.6 meters, and the width is 3.2 meters, and the height is 2.8 meters, what is the CBM?
- If your freight rate is quoted as USD10/per freight ton and the weight of the package is 2,500 kilograms, what is the freight rate in both volume and weight?
- Which freight rate will apply? And why?
