Understanding CBM

What is Cubic Meter (CBM)?

CBM is a measurement of volume used in shipping and logistics to calculate space requirements and determine shipping costs for cargo transportation.

CBM Formula

CBM Calculation Formula
CBM = Length × Width × Height
All dimensions in meters
Total CBM = CBM × Quantity

Shipping Applications

Storage space requirements
Cost Estimation
Shipping cost calculations

Key Shipping Concepts

Volumetric Weight

Calculated weight based on volume rather than actual weight. Used when cargo is light but bulky.

Sea Freight CBM

1 CBM = 1000 kg for sea freight volumetric weight calculations.

Air Freight CBM

1 CBM = 167 kg for air freight volumetric weight calculations.

Chargeable Weight

The higher value between actual weight and volumetric weight determines shipping costs.
