The maximum volume is determined by the container sizes. For a 20′ container, the volume is 30 cbm, for a 40′ container it is 60 cbm, and a 40′ High Cube container has a volume of 70 cbm. If your goods exceed the maximum volume, we can of course add a second container, or combine FCL with LCL shipment.
