The calculator converts item dimensions into cubic meters, adjusts effective cargo volume by packaging efficiency, and compares it against usable container volume after aisle and safety allowances. It also compares total cargo weight with payload capacity to identify the limiting factor.
item volume (cbm) = length x width x height / 1,000,000
usable volume = container volume x (1 - aisle %) x (1 - safety buffer %)
volume utilization = adjusted cargo volume ÷ usable volume
weight utilization = total cargo weight ÷ container max payload
