Container CBM & Loading Sequence Estimator

Compare shipment volume, uniform carton-grid estimates and residual spaces before selecting a dry container. This tool provides planning estimates, not a final loading plan.

Shipment inputs

Enter your cartons

Primary loading rule: Cartons are laid flat. The entered H dimension remains vertical; only L and W may switch direction on the container floor.

Estimation only. The primary estimate keeps every carton flat with its entered H dimension vertical. Upright or side-standing orientations are excluded. CBM is a volume comparison, while carton-grid efficiency is a separate conservative estimate based on uniform rectangular stacking. The residual-space views do not prove that other cartons can be loaded into those spaces. Actual results depend on mixed placement, carton strength, garment protection, compression, pallets, access, door clearance, weight distribution and container specifications. Reference container specifications are based on Maersk dry-container published data; actual equipment dimensions and legal road/rail weight limits can vary by container series, carrier, country and route. Confirm the final load with your carrier or forwarder.
