CBM

2.400m³

For LCL ocean freight, you'll be charged on volume (measure) since your cargo's 2.400 CBM exceeds its 0.42 metric tons.

Standard industry convention

Ocean LCL W/M uses 1 m³ = 1 metric ton. Carrier tariffs may apply a different ratio.

How it works

Ocean LCL bills on the greater of cubic meters and metric tons. That is not air volumetric weight.

Formula

W/M = max(CBM, kg/1000)

Worked example

2.4 m³ and 0.42 t → billed on measure (2.4 RT).

Frequently asked questions

Is W/M the same as DIM?

No. Air uses a divisor (often 6,000). Ocean LCL compares CBM to metric tons.
