Cost Of Air Freight
Understanding Volumetric Weight Calculation for Air Freight
In air freight, charges are based on the actual weight of the goods or the volumetric weight, whichever is greater. This means that even if a ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks, the feathers would occupy more space in the cargo hold and be charged based on their volumetric weight. Calculating the volumetric weight of your shipment is simple:
Volumetric Weight Formula: Length x Width x Height x 200
By applying the above formula, you can determine the volumetric weight of your cargo. The charges will be calculated based on whichever weight is greater—either the volumetric weight or the actual weight of the goods.
Preparing Air Freight
Ensuring Smooth and Secure Air Freight with CargoMaster
Properly preparing your air freight before submitting it for transportation is vital to guarantee a seamless and secure journey with CargoMaster. To facilitate efficient handling and protect your cargo from damage, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the type of products you are shipping. Keep the following guidelines in mind to achieve optimal efficiency and maintain the integrity of your air cargo:
Understanding Air Freight Hazards
- Avoid inadequate packaging that may result in shifting and punctures.
- Insufficient packaging leaves your cargo vulnerable to punctures and other forms of damage.
- Protect your contents from compression forces generated during stacking, shocks, vibrations, or tie-down procedures.
- Proper packaging must withstand drops and impacts encountered during handling operations.
Recommended Packaging Materials for Air Freight Shipments
- Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes
- Utilise robust boxes to prevent compression near the edges.
- Take into account the potential strength degradation over time, particularly in high-humidity environments.
- Consider using single-use packages, as they may not be durable enough for multiple trips.
Wood Packaging for Air Freight
- Enhance strength by incorporating interlocking corners and diagonal braces.
- Avoid placing fasteners in the end grain of wood to maintain resistance.
- Restrict knots to a maximum of 30% of the surface area and refrain from positioning fasteners within knots.
Air Freight Pallets
- Select pallets that can accommodate shipments without overhang.
- Avoid using damaged pallets or those with protruding fasteners.
- Ensure that pallets possess a sufficient floor-bearing load capacity.
By adhering to these guidelines and employing proper cushioning techniques, you can ensure the safety and security of your international shipments when utilising CargoMaster’s air freight services.
