What is CBM of the vehicle?


 CBM(Cubic Meter) in respect of international shipping using RO-RO (Roll On/Roll Off) ocean freight service

Ro-Ro shipping service are based on CBM. It means cubic meter and type of shipped vehicles. Determining cubic metres(CBM) is the first step you should take in determining how to ship your car by RoRo. 
The bigger the vehicle, then higher the international ocean freight rate per cubic meter or cubic foot and the total international shipping cost thereafter.


International shipping cars RO-RO
Ro-Ro ocean freight service will be calculated as follows: 

CBM Calculation Formula :

Length (centimeter) x Width (centimeter) x Height (centimeter) / 1,000,000 = Length meter x Width meter x Height meter = Cubic meter (m3) . 

e.g. 4,845 mm x 1.835 mm x 1,455 = 12,935786625 = 12,94 CBM
