Computation of LCL Rates

 

Ocean LCL rates are charged per weight or measurement of shipment, whichever yields greater revenue to the carrier.

W = Weight = 1000 kilos = 2204.60 pounds M = Measurement = 1 cubic meter = 35.31 cubic feet

 

To calculate the correct ocean freight LCL charges, we need to know the actual gross weight of the shipment in kilos or pounds and the measurements of each box or package: length, width, and height in Inches or centimetres.

 

To calculate the measurement of the shipment, take the greatest length x greatest width x greatest height in inches and multiply by the total number of packages, then divide by 1728 then multiply by 0.02832 the result will be in cubic meters.
