Weight Measurement in Sea Freight (LCL)

For Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments in sea freight, a common conversion is used: 1 cubic meter (cbm) is considered equivalent to 1 ton. This method simplifies the calculation and aligns shipping costs with the space occupied by goods in containers, even if their actual weight is less.

Weight Measurement in Air Freight

In air freight, both the actual weight and chargable weight are considered to calculate freight costs. The industry standard conversion factor is 167 kg per cubic meter. This approach ensures that freight costs reflect not only the physical mass of the cargo but also the space it occupies in the aircraft.

FAQs

What does weight measurement mean?

Weight measurement in logistics refers to the process of determining the weight of cargo to calculate shipping costs accurately.

How to measure cargo weight?

Cargo weight is measured using scales or weighing equipment, and in logistics, it may also involve calculating volumetric weight, especially for air and sea freight, where volume is a crucial factor.

What is the difference between weight and chargeable weight?

Weight is the actual physical mass of the cargo, while chargeable weight is the weight used to calculate shipping costs, which can be based on either the actual weight or the volumetric (chargable) weight, depending on which is greater.
