Container Utilization Percentage
Volume and weight utilisation of a 20ft, 40ft or 40ft high-cube container.
Inputs
m³
kg
Results
- Volume utilisation
- 78.3 %
- Weight utilisation
- 49.6 %
Formula
Volume % = loaded m³ ÷ internal m³ × 100
Weight % = loaded kg ÷ max payload × 100
Assumptions & limits
- 90%+ volume utilisation is rarely achievable with cartons; 80–85% is typical.
Worked example
26 ÷ 33.2 = 78.3% volume; 14,000 ÷ 28,200 = 49.6% weight.
