How to distinguish between heavy cargo and dumped cargo in shipping?

Either way, knowing more about freight forwarding can help you be more secure in this industry. Let's learn how to distinguish between heavy cargo and dumped cargo in international shipping?
 

Shipping in international shipping is also known as "bubble", which in layman's terms means light cargo. Volume/0.006 is greater than weight and is considered foam. A: Actual weight B: Volume weight = length * width * height / 6000CM, if A>B, it is not a bubble, on the contrary, it is a bubble.
 

(1) Considering any cargo whose cargo stowage factor is less than the ship's loading volume factor; the cargo whose cargo stowage factor is greater than the ship's loading volume factor for international shipping is called light foam, also known as light cargo.
 

(2) From the point of view of the calculation of cargo freight, and according to international shipping business practices, the cargo stowage factor is less than 1.1328 cubic meters per ton or 40 cubic feet per ton, and the stowage factor of any cargo is greater than 1.1328 cubic meters per ton or per ton. 40 cubic feet of cargo, are called light foam cargo. The stowage, transportation, storage and billing of heavy cargo and light cargo are closely related. Therefore, the transportation department should divide heavy cargo and light foamed cargo according to certain standards.
 

Heavy cargo throwing refers to the ratio of weight to volume. If the cargo is heavy and the volume is small, the heavy cargo is mainly steel; the volume is large and the cargo is light, it is cotton throwing. Generally speaking, 1 cubic meter of goods "166kg is considered heavy goods, and this is divided. Bubble goods refer to goods whose volume conversion weight exceeds the actual weight, such as: wooden chairs, plastic products, cotton, sponge, etc. Foam weight, which is the volumetric weight of the cargo.
 

The weight is converted according to the volume of the international sea freight. When calculating the actual weight, it is generally calculated according to the volume weight; if the weight is converted to the volume of the goods, it is calculated according to the actual weight. How to define air transport heavy cargo dumping? Air transportation is the cubic number of goods / 0.006, the calculated value is greater than the weight of the goods, the parabola of the goods is less than the weight.
 

Air transportation: heavy cargo refers to the cargo exceeding 1 kg per 6000 cubic centimeters; throwing goods refers to the cargo not exceeding 1 kg per 6000 cubic centimeters.
 

If 1 cubic meter of goods is less than 166.67 kilograms, it can be dumped. The freight-to-weight ratio is generally 1:1. That is, if one cubic meter is greater than one ton, it is a heavy cargo, and if it is less than one ton, it is a light cargo. However, the cargo to the US inland is calculated at 1:363 kg, and 1 cubic meter of more than 363 kg is heavy cargo.
 

Once again, I want to talk about the identification of heavy LCL cargo. Many ports have different ratios, which will also change due to different seasons (off-season and peak seasons). I would like to say a relatively simple identification method. Light cargo sea freight - tons * heavy cargo sea freight, if it is a positive number, then this is a bubble; otherwise, the shipment is heavy.
