How to Prepare Freight?
We will inform you about what the freight used in maritime transportation and other transportation is, how it is used and how it is calculated.
What is the freight?
Freight actually has two meanings. The first one is the name given to all the loads loaded on the freight ship. Another meaning of freight is the transportation fee paid for the cargo. The lexical meaning of freight is the fee required for the cargo taken on board to be transported from one place to another in foreign trade. We would like to touch on how the freight used in transportation is calculated.
Calculation of Complete Container Load Freight
For complete container loads to be transported between certain ports, some companies and carrier agencies forward their freight offers to their customers. Unless otherwise specified, local transportation costs between the exporter's factory and the loading port, port costs in our country and port costs in the country of import are included in the freight offer.
Calculation of Partial Container Load Freight
In order to receive a partial container load freight offer, the shippers are informed with the addresses of the seller and the buyer, the date of loading, as well as the weight to be applied in determining the freight prices. In the calculation of this freight, the weight of the cargo to be transported is taken into account.
