Question

A Company has to send 11 parcels from Mumbai to Boston. Each parcel has got same measurement like length is 220 cm, width 1.8 m and height is 150 cm. They weights 590kg each. The freight charge is given as $ 42/cbm. Find out the total ocean freight would cost to the company.

 

Solution               

Length           -    220cm (2.2 m)    

Width            -    1.8m

Height           -   150cm (1.5m)

Weight          -   590kg (for each parcel)

Parcels, n      -      11

Charge            -   $ 42 /cbm

 

Volume                =     2.2*1.8*1.5   =   5.94  

      5.94*11      =     65.34cbm

Total weight        =       590*11     =     6490kg

         6490        =          6.49cbm    (1000 kg = 1 cbm)      

 

Basic Ocean Freight under LCL cargo is calculated on the basis of per CBM (Cubic Meter) rate or per Ton (per 1000 kg’s gross weight) whichever is higher.

Here,       6.49 < 65.34 (gross volume is selected since it is higher)

           65.34*42   =     2744.28

  Total ocean freight would cost to the company is $2744.28
