Shipment 1
4000 Crates
Dimensions of each crate: L. 70 cm x H. 50com x W. 30cm
Weight of each crate: 80 kg.
Special instruction: The height must be up side always (Height can not change)
Make and estimation for your client to identify the type of container that must be used?
(Minimizing the total number of Containers and maximizing volume)
Would you charge by Weight or by Volume?
What is the waste space in each of the container?
Make a Container Loading Plan (A table) and a Scheme of three views of the container
fully loaded.

Exercise 2
Shipment 2
19 000 Crates
Dimensions of each crate: L. 30cm x H. 20cm x W. 30cm
Weight of each crate: 3 kg.
Special instruction: Cargo is fragile cannot support other crates above more than the

Make and estimation for your client to identify the type of container that must be used?
(Minimizing the total number of Containers and maximizing volume)
Would you charge by Weight or by Volume?
What is the waste space in each of the container?
Make a Container Loading Plan and a Scheme of three views of the container fully
loaded.

Exercise 3
Can you combine both shipments due to the fact that both goes to the same destination
port and the same origin port?
Can you make an estimation on how to use spare or waste volume to send both
products combined in the same containers?
Note:
If you need to palettize take into consideration height increase in the first shipment 10
cm.
Try to do a Cargo Load Plan for this case in which you combine both cargos.
