Cargo CBM

Your cargo uses only 3.1% of the container's volume. You have approximately 73.900 m³ of theoretical cube remaining. Consider LCL (shared container) for cost efficiency.

Estimated

Internal dimensions vary by manufacturer. This is a capacity estimate, not a packing plan.

How it works

Select a container, enter your cargo. The utilisation bar shows volume and weight fill levels side by side.

Formula

Volume % = cargo m³ ÷ container m³. Weight % = cargo kg ÷ max payload kg.

Worked example

Cargo: 60 m³, 18,000 kg in a 40HC. Volume: 78.6%, Weight: 68.0%.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good container utilization rate?

Most shippers target 70–85% volume utilisation. Below 50% usually makes LCL (shared container) more cost-effective.
