What is CBM?

Cubic Meter, or CBM, is a standard unit of measurement used in logistics to quantify the volume of cargo. It represents the amount of space occupied by a shipment in cubic meters, aiding in determining shipping costs and space allocation.

Difference between total weight and volumetric weight

While total weight measures the actual weight of the cargo, volumetric weight considers the space it occupies. Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the cargo in centimeters and then dividing by a volumetric factor, often provided by shipping companies. This ensures fair pricing based on both weight and volume.

  • Frequently asked questions
What is the significance of CBM in shipping?

CBM helps in accurately assessing the volume of cargo, allowing for precise shipping cost calculations and optimal space utilisation.

How do I calculate CBM for irregularly shaped cargo?

For irregular shapes, measure the longest, widest, and highest points to determine the dimensions for CBM calculation.

Is CBM the same as volumetric weight?

No, CBM represents the actual volume of the cargo, while volumetric weight considers the space it occupies relative to its weight.

Why is CBM important for international shipments?

CBM is crucial for international shipments as it influences freight costs, customs clearance, and container loading decisions, ensuring efficient and cost-effective logistics operations.
