The Republic of the Marshall Islands, known as Ṃajeḷ in the local language, is an enchanting island nation situated in the Pacific Ocean, west of the International Date Line and near Kiribati. Geographically, it is part of the larger island group of Micronesia.

Within its territory of approximately 180,000 square miles (470,000 km2) in the Pacific, the country comprises 29 atolls and five individual islands, including the captivating atolls of Ailinginae Atoll, Bikar (Bikaar) Atoll, Bikini Atoll, Bokak Atoll, Erikub Atoll, Jemo Island, Nadikdik Atoll, Rongerik Atoll, Toke Atoll, and Ujelang Atoll, among others.

Majuro, the capital and largest city of the Marshall Islands, is situated amid this island paradise. It is here, along with the secondary urban center of Ebeye in Kwajalein Atoll, that over two-thirds of the nation’s population resides.

The Marshall Islands boast an astounding 97.87% water territory, which extends to various neighboring regions, including Wake Island in the north, Kiribati in the southeast, Nauru in the south, and the Federated States of Micronesia in the west.

These stunning atolls and islands form two distinct groups: the Ratak (sunrise) and the Ralik (sunset). Spanning about 750,000 square miles (1,900,000 km2) of the ocean, they offer about 70 square miles (180 km2) of land mass, comprising 15 to 18 islands and atolls each.

The Marshall Islands have a diverse climate, experiencing a relatively dry season from December to April, followed by a wet season from May to November. This region is also susceptible to Pacific typhoons originating as tropical storms, which move westward toward the Mariana Islands and the Philippines.

As an island nation, the Marshall Islands face the challenge of providing fresh water supply to a population of over 42,000 people. The northern atolls receive around 50 inches (1,300 mm) of rainfall annually, while the southern atolls receive double that amount, highlighting the importance of efficient water management to mitigate the threat of drought.

The economy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands relies significantly on assistance from the United States government. Under the Amended Compact of Free Association, the U.S. commits to providing substantial financial aid to the Marshall Islands, contributing to the nation’s development and prosperity.

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.
