Freight is either charged based on the volume or the gross weight of the shipment, except for Full Container Loads (FCL), where it is charged according to the size and type of container used. For LCL Seafreight it is charged per 1000 Kg or per cubic metre, whichever results in the highest revenue. The minimum is usually 1 cubic metre or 1000Kg. For Airfreight it is charged per Kg or per 0.006 cubic metre. Minimum charges vary depending on services used, but are considerably lower than Seafreight.
