In export negotiation, after the requirements of export commodities are clear, reasonable quotation is an important condition for the success of the transaction.In addition to cost, cost and profit, transportation cost is also a very important factor in the quotation index。
The freight is calculated by full container consignmentInternational Marine containerFreight: One option is to charge by the actual freight ton, just like LCL cargo。Another method, which is also more commonly used at present, is to charge containers according to the type of containers。
For shipping companies to use a container full container shipment, the carrier minimum utilization (COntainerMinimutilization) and the highest utilization rate of container (COntainerMaximutization) to pay the freight。
1.Container minimum utilization calculation。
What is the minimum usage？
In general, when charging container freight, the liner guild generally only calculates the tonnage of the goods in the container, rather than the weight or volume of the container itself, but there are minimum requirements for the loading utilization rate of the container, that is, the minimum utilization rate。
2.The main purpose of minimum utilization。
In order to protect the interests of the carrier, the main purpose of stipulating the minimum utilization rate of international maritime containers is that if the tonnage (weight or volume) of the goods does not meet the specified requirements, the freight is still calculated according to the corresponding billing ton when the minimum is used。The minimum utilization of the container is usually the weight or volume of the fingerboard。The minimum utilization rate of container mainly depends on the type and size of container and the business strategy of container company。Naturally, in the tariff schedule of some liner industries, the minimum utilization rate of containers is usually only related to the size of the container, and has nothing to do with the type of container。
Transportation charges are based on the lowest usage rate。
At present, there are three main forms of charging freight according to the minimum utilization rate of containers: minimum loading ton, minimum freight and the above mixed forms。The minimum value of loaded tonnage can be weight tons or body tons, or a percentage of container loading capacity (load or volume).。In general, depending on the type and size of the container, the weight or volume of the minimum load is expressed differently, but it may be the same in some cases。If the minimum load is determined by a certain proportion of the container load, the load and load of the container are usually the same, of course, but also different。
Minimum freight is the minimum freight per ton or per container, the latter is also known as the minimum packaging freight。
For the above two mixed forms, the minimum utilization rate of the container is determined according to the following methods:
(1) a certain percentage of container loading capacity or capacity plus a specified container unit volume or minimum freight rate per box;
② Minimum weight tons or body tons plus a certain percentage of container capacity。
