Length x Width x Height = CBM This is the formula used to measure your cargo volume in CBM (m³). Say, you have a carton that is 2 metres long, 2 metres wide and 2 metres high. Then, its volume is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 m³.

How is CBM for sea shipment calculated in MM?

CBM – cubic meter is calculated by multiplying length, width and height of packages of goods. For example, if the length, height and width of a cargo is 2.3 meters, 1.4meters and 2 meters respectively, the volume of cargo is 2.3 X 1.4 X 2.00 = 6.44 CBM.

How do you convert meters to CBM?

The formula of cubic meter for measuring different units

Meter = l × b × h = cubic meters.
Centimetre = l × b × h ÷ 10,00,000 = cubic meters.
Millimetre = l × b × h ÷ 1,00,00,00,000 = cubic meters.
Inches = l × b × h ÷ 61,023.8 = cubic meters.
Feet = l × b × h ÷ 35.315 = cubic meters.

How do you calculate CBM from CM?

Cubic Meter Calculator Formula

Length (in centimeter) X Width (in centimeter) X Height (in centimeter) / 1000000 = Cubic meter (m3)
We can input dimensions in Centimeter, milimeter, meter, inch, feet or yard.

Is cubic meter and meter cube same?

Cubic metre vs metre cubed A cubic metre and a metre cubed are the same volume, ie 1m³ in any shape. However a meter cube (without the d) can only be a cube shape, and a two meter cube (without the d) would be 8m³, ie 2m x 2m x 2m = 8.

How many CBM is a 20FT container?

20FT and 40FT Containers

Container Type	Internal Dimensions	Cubic Capacity
20FT General	L – 5.89M W – 2.35M H – 2.36M	33 CBM
20FT High Cube	L – 5.89M W – 2.35M H – 2.69M	37 CBM
40FT General	L – 12.05M W – 2.35M H – 2.36M	66 CBM
40FT High Cube	L – 12.05M W – 2.35M H – 2.69M	76 CBM

How do you calculate shipment volume?

Line up your items and measure height, width, and length. Multiply these numbers to find the volume.

How many CBM is a 40FT container?

What is the size of a 40 ft container?

Dimensions	2.38m x 2.35m x 12m
Total Volume	67 cubic metres (cbm)
Estimated Loading Volume	54-58cbm of cartons
Pallets in a 40ft container	18 pallets (or 36 if <110cm high and double stacked)

What is CBM in sea freight?

The term Cubic Meter or CBM is commonly used in ports, warehouses, and in the sea – air – land freight. A cubic meter, abbreviated to CBM, is a measurement of volume that is generally used for calculating storage space, storage charges, and freight charges.

How do you calculate CBM from length width and height?

To find the CBM, use the standard formula for volume and multiply the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism. For example, say the length is 5.5 meters, the width is 2.5 meters, and the height is 7.0 meters: 5.5 x 2.5 x 7.0 = 96.25, so the CBM is 96.25 cubic meters.

How is sea freight cost calculated?

Calculation of basic Ocean Freight under LCL cargo is on the basis of per CBM (Cubic Meter) rate or per Ton (per 1000 kg’s gross weight) whichever is higher. Or it can be also stated as, basic ocean freight under LCL shipment is calculated on the basis of chargeable volume of cargo.

What is CBM in measurement?

CBM (cubic meter) is a measurement of volume one meter wide by one meter long by one meter high.
