2. Dimensional weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_weight

   Dimensional weight is representative of the weight of the package at the minimum density accepted by the freight carrier. [3] Shipping factors are not only different for imperial and metric measurements, but also for shipment mode and in some cases between different customers. Shipping factors will be available from the freight carrier.

   Corrections for factors such as trim, water density and non-cargo weight changes are made before calculating the cargo weight change. [3] References

5. Stowage factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowage_factor

   In shipping, the stowage factor indicates how many cubic metres of space one tonne (or cubic feet of space one long ton) of a particular type of cargo occupies in a hold of a cargo ship. [1] It is calculated as the ratio of the stowage space required under normal conditions, including the stowage losses caused by the means of transportation and ...

6. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

   To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1,025 kg/m 3) is more dense than fresh water (1,000 kg/m 3); [5] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh. The density of water also varies with temperature.

7. Dimensioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensioning

   By using dimensioning technology to calculate an item's dimensional weight, carriers are able to charge based on either volume or weight, depending on which is greater. In the warehousing industry, dimensioning is used to provide an overview of the volume items in stock which can reduce the costs of materials, return handling, shipping and ...
