DG LCL to Yemen: what the numbers mean

Two Yemeni ports sit on this rate sheet. Aden prices at USD685/CBM and Port Sudan at USD650/CBM, both with a 3 CBM minimum. Neither port has a direct sailing: cargo relays through Jebel Ali, running 32 days to Aden and 30 days to Port Sudan. Both rows carry a transshipment handling charge of USD450/BILL, and both are marked PP.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the Class 2 destination surcharge, and a weight surcharge of USD20/TON once density reaches 0.75 tonnes per cubic metre. PP means the port accepts prepaid freight only.

How to read this sheet: “Transship” means a relay through the port shown, since the direct column is marked N. The CISF column shows N for both ports. Transshipment handling is a separate charge of USD450/BILL, carried in its own column. PP means prepaid freight only, no high-collect. The RMB local charges in the next section are quoted in RMB and are separate from the ocean rate.

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.
