1 lip 2015 · The air-cargo consolidation problem under the pivot-weight scheme (ACPW) is characterized by a pivot weight and two unit costs, respectively, the under-pivot rate and the over-pivot rate. The pivot weight Uj is a weight threshold of a ULD, below which the cargo is charged the under-pivot rate.
1 lip 2015 · The transportation charge of a ULD depends on whether the total weight exceeds a certain threshold, called the pivot weight. If the total load tendered by a freight forwarder is less than the pivot weight, it gets charged at the under-pivot rate.
Simply put, pivot weight refers to the minimum chargeable weight for a specific type of container or Unit Load Device (ULD) used in air cargo. Shipments that fall below the pivot weight for a particular ULD are charged a higher rate per kilogram, known as the under-pivot rate.
When it comes to how is air freight cost calculated, the weight and volume are determining factors. Air carriers can charge by volumetric weight, which is dimensional weight, or by actual weight. To determine the volumetric rate, the general rule is to divide the volume of the shipment in cubic centimeters by 6000.
31 lip 2015 · In this work, we study how an air freight forwarder should plan its cargo loading in order to minimize the total freight cost given a limited number of rented containers.
18 lut 2023 · For each container type, a minimum weight (pivot weight) is taken as a basis, which is charged regardless of the actual weight. If the actual weight is above this minimum, a surcharge per pound or kilo is levied for the difference ( over pivot weight ).
