How to Ship?by Air or Sea?
| AIR | SEA | |||
| Advantage | Fast delivery | Less expensive Comparatively soft handling | ||
| Disadvantage | Expensive Rough handling at air port | Slow | ||
| Remarks | Freight charged by chargeable weight, which is normally approximately 50% greater than the actual weight.Normally, personal effects are calculated by volume.Bulky items cost much more to send. | Freight charged by cubic meter volume only.There is generally little need for concern regarding weight. | ||
Units to be used in the moving market are:
m3 (cubic meter) 1 meter x 1 meter x 1 meter
ft3 (cubic feet) 1 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot (35.315 ft3 = 1 m3)
For the calculation of ocean freight, normally m3 is used.
For the calculation of air freight, the heavier of either actual weight or calculated volume weight shall be adopted.
The formula for the calculated volume weight is L(cm) x W(cm) x H(cm) / 6000(cm3)
EX :
- Actual weight : 110kg, (L100cm x W100cm x H100cm)
- Volume weight : 100x100x100 / 6000 = 166.6kg
- Then 166.6kg shall be adopted for the calculation of air freight
