DG LCL to Northern Ireland: what the numbers mean

Belfast bills on the greater of actual volume and the 2 CBM minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment is charged as 2 CBM. The sailing is a Sunday relay through RTM (Dublin) taking 42 days, at USD200/CBM. It is not a direct call, and Northern Ireland has no other destination in the sheet.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM and the new ENS filing per bill of lading, the USD200/BILL transshipment fee, and the Class 2 and lithium battery surcharges where they apply.

How to read this sheet: “Transship” means a relay through the port shown; Belfast is marked N in the direct-call column, so no Northern Irish port is a direct call. CISF is 50 W/M. Northern Ireland has a single destination in the sheet, so there is one rate, one minimum and one sailing to book against.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1-14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.
