DG LCL to Qatar: what the numbers mean
Hamad is the one Qatari port on this rate sheet, at USD360/CBM with a 3 CBM minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment bills as 3 CBM. The carrier's own vessel does not call Qatar: cargo relays through JEBEL ALI with a 27 day transit on a Saturday sailing.
Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the CISF charge shown on the rate sheet, a Class 2 destination surcharge, and the weight surcharge if the cargo is dense.
