Supply and demand.
Different shipping routes have different pricing, the generally used container dimensions for International container shipping by sea are 20 feet and 40 feet.
Other variations include different sizes and refrigerated units. For a common 20 feet container to be shipped from India to the United States which will be considered as International container shipping by sea, it can cost $1223.86-$1352.68 (approx.) for FCL (full container load).
But for a 40 feet container, the cost can vary from $1641.81 to $1814.64. In the above example, we have considered Mumbai as a port of loading (POL) and San Francisco as a port of discharge (POD). Regarding less-than-container load (LCL) charges, it will cost $1575.33-1741.16 for 100 kg/cm. This is just a rough idea of how charges can be applied.
Cargo Container Shipping
Calculating the International container shipping by a sea of half the container is not as simple as calculating the cost of a full container. This is because space in an LCL shipment is more costly per foot in general than space in a full container. Therefore, a full container is less costly than an LCL shipment.
A good service provider will always guide the companies to upgrade to a full container when the shipment is done. Many companies provide quotes for shipment well in advance.
Just visit their website and an online calculator does the job easily. Simply put the information like the origin of the shipment, destination of a shipment, FCL or LCL, and get the final quote for the shipment.
For FCL, you may need to enter the size of the container whether it is 20 feet or 40 feet. In the case of LCL, just enter the total weight, total volume, and number of packages.
