Question 2

What does CBM mean in cargo shipping?

Accepted Answer

CBM stands for Cubic Meter, the standard unit of volume measurement in freight shipping. It is calculated as: CBM = Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m). For example, a shipment measuring 2m × 1m × 1m equals 2 CBM. Freight costs are then calculated by multiplying the CBM by the per CBM rate for the chosen shipping mode and destination.

Accepted Answer

There is no strict minimum CBM requirement. Mega Al Sahar Cargo can ship from 1 CBM upwards. Smaller shipments are typically consolidated (LCL groupage) with other cargo to reduce cost per CBM. Full container loads (FCL) are recommended for shipments above 15 CBM.

Question 4

How is cargo cost calculated per CBM from Dubai to Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

The cost per CBM is based on the shipment's volume, type of goods, freight mode (sea, land, or air), destination city, and urgency. Land freight rates range from AED 700–950 per CBM. Sea freight ranges from AED 600–850 per CBM. City-specific rates apply: Dubai to Riyadh is AED 700–900/CBM, Dubai to Dammam is AED 800–1,000/CBM, and Dubai to Jeddah is AED 1,000–1,200/CBM.
