Question 1

In CargoWise, which field on the air freight shipment record captures the chargeable weight used to calculate freight costs?

Accepted Answer

Volume Weight (whichever is greater than actual weight)

Answer

Air freight chargeable weight is the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric (dimensional) weight, calculated as volume ÷ 6000 (cm³/kg) or ÷ 166 (in³/lb).

Question 2

What is an 'OBL' in the context of ocean freight, and why does CargoWise track its status?

Accepted Answer

Original Bill of Lading — a negotiable title document required for cargo release

Answer

The Original Bill of Lading is a negotiable title document; tracking whether originals have been received is critical because carriers require surrender before releasing cargo.

Question 3

When entering a vessel schedule in CargoWise for an ocean shipment, which pair of dates is most critical for triggering cut-off alerts?

Accepted Answer

Cut-off Date/Time and ETD (Estimated Time of Departure)

Answer

The cut-off date/time (when cargo must be at the terminal) and ETD are used by CargoWise to generate alerts and ensure shipments are processed in time.

Question 4

In CargoWise air freight, what does 'ULD' stand for and how does it affect billing?

Accepted Answer

Unit Load Device — a pallet or container used in aircraft holds that may qualify for a bulk rate

Answer

A Unit Load Device (ULD) is an aircraft pallet or container; when cargo fills a full ULD, airlines may apply a discounted pivot weight rate rather than per-kg charges.

Question 5

Which CargoWise feature allows an operator to send automated milestone updates to clients throughout an ocean or air shipment lifecycle?

Accepted Answer

CargoWise eHub Workflow Events

Answer

CargoWise's eHub Workflow Events engine triggers automated notifications (email, EDI, portal updates) when predefined milestones are reached on a shipment.
