In organizing international freight transport, one of the key factors is the precise calculation of the volume of the cargo being shipped. Whether it's delivering goods from China to Ukraine, sea or air delivery, knowing the actual dimensions of the cargo is crucial for planning the logistics process. At DiFFreight Company, specializing in international logistics, we understand how critical accurate cargo volume calculation is.
That's why DiFFreight offers its clients a highly precise online calculator for cargo volume. This tool allows easy and fast computation of the volume of various forms of cargo – from standard boxes to cylinders and truncated pyramids. Calculations are based on the linear dimensions of the cargo in user-friendly units of measurement.
Additionally, DiFFreight's experienced logisticians are prepared to perform all necessary calculations to determine the exact volume even for the most non-standard shipments. This ensures maximum efficiency in subsequent transportation, taking into account all requirements regarding shipment dimensions.
International logistics transportation requires meticulous planning and calculations at every stage. One of the key factors is accurately determining the volume of cargo, whether it involves:
Having precise dimensions of the shipment enables:
Modern technologies significantly simplify the process of calculating cargo volumes. Specialized online calculators allow for quick and accurate computation of necessary values, eliminating complex mathematical calculations and potential errors that may arise from manual calculations.
To determine the volume using the calculator, you only need to input a few parameters - the linear dimensions of the cargo: length, width, and height. Based on these indicators, the calculator will automatically perform the calculation using the corresponding formula.
The process of using the online volume calculator is extremely simple and intuitive:
Due to its intuitive interface and ease of use, online volume calculators are accessible even to those who are not strong in mathematics. There's no need to memorize complex formulas – simply input the required dimensions, and the system will perform all the calculations automatically.
The first step is to determine the shape of the cargo. The most common shapes are rectangular boxes, cubes, cylinders, and, in some cases, truncated pyramids. It is important to note that volume calculations are based on cubic meters, which are standard in logistics.
If the cargo consists of several boxes of the same size, multiply the volume of one box by the quantity to obtain the total volume.
Knowing the volume makes it possible to determine the type of transportation suitable for carrying the cargo. Light-tonnage cargoes occupy less space, whereas heavy-weight goods require larger transport volumes.

To measure cargo volume, you need to know its length, width, and height in centimeters or meters. Calculation formula:
Volume (m³) = Length × Width × Height
If the cargo consists of multiple boxes, calculate the volume of each and sum them up.
Volume is usually measured in cubic meters (m³) or liters (L). In the calculator, you can use centimeters (cm) or meters (m), but it is important to specify the correct units to avoid errors.
Actual weight is the real weight of the cargo in kilograms.
Volumetric weight (or "cubic weight") is a calculated value that determines how much space the cargo occupies in the transport vehicle.
Formula:
Volumetric weight (kg) = Volume (m³) × Conversion factor
The factor depends on the type of transport:
The calculator allows entering dimensions with or without packaging. If the cargo requires additional crating or palletizing, its volume may increase. It is important to clarify packaging in advance to avoid discrepancies in calculations.
