New Zealand is located near the centre of the water hemisphere and is made up of two main islands and more than 700 smaller islands. The two main islands (the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu) are separated by Cook Strait, 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide at its narrowest point. Besides the North and South Islands, the five largest inhabited islands are Stewart Island (across the Foveaux Strait), Chatham Island, Great Barrier Island (in the Hauraki Gulf), D’Urville Island (in the Marlborough Sounds) and Waiheke Island (about 22 km (14 mi) from central Auckland).

New Zealand’s climate is predominantly temperate maritime with mean annual temperatures ranging from 10 °C (50 °F) in the south to 16 °C (61 °F) in the north. Historical maxima and minima are 42.4 °C (108.32 °F) in Rangiora, Canterbury and −25.6 °C (−14.08 °F) in Ranfurly, Otago. Conditions vary sharply across regions from extremely wet on the West Coast of the South Island to semi-arid in Central Otago and the Mackenzie Basin of inland Canterbury and subtropical in Northland. Of the seven largest cities, Christchurch is the driest, receiving on average only 618 millimetres (24.3 in) of rain per year and Wellington the wettest, receiving almost twice that amount. Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch all receive a yearly average of more than 2,000 hours of sunshine.

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 utilizing CargoMaster’s air freight services.
