What is the International Ocean Freight (O/F) Rate?

Detailed information on international Ocean Freight (O/F) rates is as follows:

The cost of international ocean freight container shipping depends on:

• Type of Goods: Fragile goods or those requiring special handling incur higher fees.
• Size and Weight: Larger or heavier goods cost more to transport.
• Container Type: Different container types, such as refrigerated or standard containers, have different prices.
• Pickup and Delivery Locations: The distance between the origin and destination ports will affect the cost.
• Market Conditions: Supply and demand in the market also determine freight rates; peak seasons usually have higher prices.

How to Calculate International Ocean Freight (O/F) Rates?

For FCL (Full Container Load) Shipments: The total FCL ocean freight cost is calculated as follows: $\text{Total Cost}=\text{Cost per 1 container}\times \text{Number of containers (or number of Bills/Shipments)}$

For LCL (Less than Container Load) Shipments:

Formula for calculating shipment volume in CBM: Shipment Volume=(Length×Width×Height)×Quantity (m3)

Convention: If 1 ton < 3 CBM, it is considered heavy cargo and charged by KGS. If 1 ton $\ge$ 3 CBM, it is considered light cargo and charged by CBM.

Formula for calculating by CBM/KGS:

1. CBM Cost $=\text{Cargo Volume}\times \text{Shipping fee per 1 CBM}$
2. KGS Cost $=(\text{Weight (kg)}\times \text{Shipping fee per 1 CBM})÷1000$

• Note: The shipping fee per 1 CBM is determined by the service provider.
