CBM and volume weight calculation for shipment booking

If you are related to garment industry, you should have to know about the cbm calculation  and volume weight calculation details to book your shipments with sea or air.

This article will help you to book your shipment by knowing the space requirement of your goods.

Sea shipment:
There are three size of container commonly used by garment manufacturer for sea shipment. 
20" Container
40" Normal container
40" High cube container

See below the average cbm capacity for each container.
20" Container- Max capacity-26 to 28 cbm.
40" Normal Container- Max capacity-55 to 58 cbm
40" High cube Container- Max capacity- 65-68 cbm.

How to calculate- You can use the simple formula for calculating cbm detail of your goods by knowing the length, width, height and no of cartons.

Simple Formula for CBM calculation - Length(cm) x Width(cm) x Height(cm) x No of cartons(pcs) / 1000000= Total cbm of your goods.
Example-Carton size- 65x45x20 cm.
                No of carton 400 pcs.
As per formula- 65x45x20x400/1000000=23.4 CBM(Require 20" container for 400 cartons).

Air shipment:
If you are dealing with air shipment then volume weight calculation information also req to book your shipment space in airways.
Kindly note:- Air shipment weight calculated by two methods
By Gross weight(Total carton weight) 
By Volume weight(Formula)
Higher weight always get to consider for payment rate/kg in air shipments.

Simple formula for Volume weight- Length(cm) x Width(cm) x Height(cm) x No of cartons(pcs) / 5000= Total volume weight of your goods.

Example- Carton size- 65x45x20 cm.
                No of carton 400 pcs.
                Gross weight per carton-10.2 kg

Total Volume weight = 65 x 45 x 20 x 400 / 5000 = 4680 kg (Volume weight)
 Total Gross weight = 10.2 x 400 = 4080 kg

In this shipment volume weight is higher then gross weight so per kg air ship cost applicable on volume weight which is 4680 kg.
Example:- Airways rate Rs 125/kg
so the total air cost will be - 125 x 4680= 585000/-
