Cargo CBM
2.400m³
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.

Container Cube Calculator
Compare cargo CBM against 20ft, 40ft, and 40HC side by side.
40ft High Cube Container Calculator
How your cargo fills a 40HC container by cube and payload.
CBM Calculator
Calculate cubic meters (CBM) from carton dimensions and quantity.
Pallet Utilization Calculator
What percentage of pallet cube your cartons actually use.
How it works
Select a container, enter your cargo. The utilisation bar shows volume and weight fill levels side by side.

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.
