20 FEET DRY CONTAINER

The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals. It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks.

20 FEET OPEN TOP CONTAINERThe walls of open-top containers are generally made of corrugated steel. The floor is made of wood. It has the following typical distinguishing structural features. The roof consists of removable bows and a removable tarpaulin. The door header may be swivelled out.

These two structural features greatly simplify the process of packing and unpacking the container. In particular, it is very easy to pack and unpack the container from above or through the doors by crane or crab when the roof is open and the door header is swivelled out.

LCL Shipment


How to calculate LCL Freight• One of the most common question asked is how to calculate CBM, specially by

clients who get charged per Freight Ton (Weight or volume which ever is higher)• Firstly CBM stands for CuBiC MeTeR... This is the most common unit used for the

measurement of volumetric cargo.• When you have the dimensions of the package, first of all convert the measurement

into meters. Normally dimensions are in Length x Width x Height...• If for example the dimensions are 3.2 x 1.2 x 2.2 meters then the CBM is simply 3.2

x 1.2 x 2.2 = 8.448 cbm• As mentioned above if the rate is quoted as for example Usd .12/per freight ton and

the weight of the package is 1200 kgs = 1.2 tons, then the freight rate for this will be CBM Rate = 8.448 cbm x Usd 12 = Usd 101.376 or

Freight per Ton = 1.2 tons x Usd 12 = Usd 14.4• Since the cbm rate is higher, the freight rate of Usd 101.376 will apply
