IGS provides the key elements of airfreight: speed, safety, reliability, and competitive rates. Goods of higher value and sensitive to delivery schedules are now shipped by air with IGS.

IGS has the expertise and vast experience to move substantial tonnage of cargo as may be required, including over-weight and over sized plant, machinery and equipment, particularly for projects, on a door to door bases.

1. To convert Centimeters to kilograms divide by 6000. The dimensions of a shipment being 173.3 x 135.4 x 156.8 cms are rounded up to 173 x 135 x 157 = 3,666,735 cubic centimeters which divided by 6000, results in, 611.12 kgs rounded up to 612 kgs.
2. To convert Inches to kilograms divide by 366. The dimensions of a shipment being 63 7/8 x 62 1/4 x 56 3/8 inches are rounded to 64 x 62 x 56 = 210,304 cubic inches which divided by 366, results in, 574.60 kgs rounded up to 575 kgs.
3. To convert Inches to Pounds divide by 166. The dimensions of a shipment being 74 x 51 x 57 inches = 215,118 cubic inches which divided by 166, results in, 1295.89 Ibs rounded up to 1296 Ibs.
4. One kilogram = 2.2046 pounds.
   One meter = 100 centimeters.
   One Cubic Meter =35.31 Cubic Feet
   One Cubic Feet = 1728 Cubic Inches
   One Cubic Meter =168 kgs volume weight
   One Cubic Meter = 368 Ibs volume weight
5. Airfreight shipments are effected on carriers with various types of aircrafts. The dimensions of the aircraft cargo door may impose limitations. Hence to avoid any inconvenience please furnish us the dimensions and gross weight of the package/crate to check the feasibility.

Ocean Freight

General Information
Majority of the commercial goods are shipped in 20 or 40 feet containers respectively. Goods are shipped on FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less Container Load) basis. IGS provides different carriers to meet its customer’s needs: such as transit time, frequency and competitive rates. In order to reduce transportation cost, IGS also offers consolidation service to customers purchasing a variety of goods from multiple suppliers.

IGS has the expertise and vast experience to move substantial tonnage of cargo as may be required, including over-weight and over sized plant, machinery and equipment, particularly for projects, on a door to door basis on Charter or Liner Terms.

Computation of LCL Rates
Ocean LCL Rates are charged per Weight or Measurements of the shipment, whichever yields greater revenue to the carrier.

W = Weight = 1000 kilos = 2204.6 pounds

M = Measurement = 1 cubic meter = 35.31 cubic feet

To calculate the correct Ocean Freight LCL charges, we need to know the actual gross Weight of the shipment in kilos or pounds and the Measurements of each box or package; Length, Width and Height in inches or centimeters.

To calculate the Measurements of a shipment, take the greatest Length x greatest Width x greatest Height in inches times the total number of packages then divide by 1728 then times by 0.02832 will result in cubic meters.

One kilogram = 2.2046 pounds

One meter = 100 centimeters

One Cubic Meter = 35.31 Cubic Feet

One Cubic Foot = 1728 Cubic Inches
