What is the volumetric charge for sea-freight shipments?

Sea-freight shipments of less than a container load (LCL) are charged on a “one to one” basis. This means that every one tonne (1,000kgs) equals 1 cubic metre (cbm). For example, for a shipment which is 2.65cbm and 3 tonne volumetric measurement is 3 tonne (3 tonne is greater than 2.65cbm).
