DG LCL to Bahrain: what the numbers mean
LCL is charged on the greater of actual volume and the 3 CBM minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment still bills as 3 CBM. Bahrain sits at USD565/CBM on the November 2026 sheet, the highest rate on the Middle East lane, because the destination is served by relay rather than a direct vessel call.
The box sails Saturday and is relayed through JEBEL ALI, with 27 days transit; the transshipment handling fee is USD450/BILL. Ocean freight is only part of the invoice — add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the weight surcharge where the ton/cubic ratio reaches 0.75, and the Class 2 destination surcharge.
