Verified Mathematical Model & Formulation
Chargeable Weight = MAX(Gross Weight, Volumetric Weight) Ocean LCL: MAX(Metric Tonnes, CBM) = Revenue Ton (RT / W/M)
Identifies the larger value between physical gross weight and dimensional volume. For ocean LCL, compares metric tonnes to CBM (Weight or Measure, W/M).
Configurable Parameters & Standard Units
- Total Volume: (Default: 4.5 cu_m)
- Total Gross Weight: (Default: 1200 kg)
- Mode (1 = Air 6000, 2 = Ocean W/M): (Default: 1 count)
Standard Worked Example & Practical Verification
Scenario: Shipping 5.5 CBM of machinery with actual gross weight of 2,400 kg.
Calculated Solution
5.5 Revenue Tons (W/M Billed on Volume)
Practical Takeaway: Ocean shipping cost will be 5.5 times the ocean freight base rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Revenue Ton (RT)?
A Revenue Ton (or Freight Ton) is whichever is greater between volume in CBM and weight in metric tons.
