Freight quote
For sea freight quotations, pricing is generally calculated based on cargo volume, weight, container requirements, transport route and additional logistics services associated with the shipment.
A quotation request should typically include:
- cargo type
- cargo dimensions and weight
- number of packages or pallets
- container requirements, if applicable
- origin and destination
- preferred transport terms
- additional services required, such as customs clearance, inland transport or storage
For containerized shipments, equipment type may significantly influence pricing, particularly in the case of reefer containers, high cube containers or special equipment required for oversized or sensitive cargo.
Providing complete and accurate shipment information helps avoid operational delays, incorrect pricing or equipment allocation issues.
Air freight quotations are primarily influenced by chargeable weight, cargo dimensions, transport route and airline capacity availability.
A quotation request should generally include:
- cargo dimensions
- gross weight
- number of packages
- cargo type
- origin airport and destination airport
- special handling requirements
- required transit time
Because air freight pricing is based on chargeable weight, accurate cargo dimensions are essential for the correct calculation of volumetric weight and freight costs.
Shipments requiring temperature control, dangerous goods handling, priority loading or special airline acceptance conditions may involve additional operational costs and documentation requirements.
Project cargo quotations require detailed technical and operational information due to the complexity of oversized or heavy-lift shipments.
A quotation request may include:
- cargo dimensions
- total weight
- center of gravity
- lifting points
- technical drawings, when available
- origin and destination
- route restrictions
- loading or discharge constraints
- special handling requirements
Depending on cargo dimensions and transport configuration, project cargo planning may additionally require route surveys, permits, crane studies or transport engineering assessments.
Accurate technical information is essential for equipment selection, transport feasibility analysis and operational cost estimation.
