Weight/Measure: 

 1.0 cubic metre (1.0 m³)  = 1000 kilos (sea freight only)

Internal container dimensions in metres: Length / Width / Height

 20’ -         L 5.89 x W 2.33 x H 2.38 mtr                Total - 33.2 m³

 40’ -         L 12.01 x W 2.33 x H 2.38 mtr               Total - 67.7 m³

Loading Time:

The normal allowance to load/unload a container is 3 hours.

It should be noted that a containers internal capacity is based on a corner-to-corner measurement, therefore when calculating the amount of shipping space required you might find that the quoted requirement is greater than the m3 of goods. For example: goods amounting to 16.0 m3 are likely to take up more that half of a 20’ container.  This is because you are unlikely to fill to the full height of the container and therefore take up more floor area.  This may apply more so to those self-packing and loading.  In some cases, with the amounts involved, it can become more cost effective to ship FCL rather than LCL / Groupage.
